2008 Mk5 diesel GT Sport leaking coolant....... Help

[DOUBLECAB]

Hi Guys, need some more help/opinions please.

The wife's 2008 Mk5 diesel GT Sport has started leaking coolant on the front LHS onto the garage floor.

Any ideas as to what the 'bad news' could be??

Hey

Mine did this, and so did my mate's with the same engine.

There's a plastic flange that craps out. They just replace it, nothing major.

Yeah, could be the plastic outlet flange on the gearbox end of the cylinder head.

Or worst case, the radiator. The locating spigots on the bottom of the radiator are quite vulnerable to impact damage, from the car bottoming out on driveways, etc. Do that a few times, and the radiator will start leaking.
