Another leak this morning

[Vexed]

Good morning guys, I found another leak this morning. It reddish in colour. Is this the coolant?

Would it be safe to drive 15 minutes to the dealership?

Many thanks.

Looks like coolant and I am sure it is safe, but I wouldn't drive it. Ring the service department, tell them the problem, show them the picture then leave the decision of what to do with them.

Yeah dont add plain water to it. Works for regular cars but not for VWs. It needs specific coolant only

A better pic would be of the Coolant bottle/engine bay specially near radiator hose

I have dropped it at the dealership, they will check it and let me know.

I have checked the bottle, nothing suspicious around that area. I couldn't locate where the leakage is coming from.

The car gave me a coolant alert on the way, though the temperature didn't rise over 90. I stopped at service station and topped it up.

Luckily it is school holidays and there was no traffic, the whole trip took 7 minutes.

The leak is coming from the water pump and it has to be replaced. Luckily, there is one in the country.

Surprising.....but these things can happen.....how many K's have you done?
Good news for you is that it should be a pretty routine job and you didn't cook the engine.

Yeah I hope so... I'm just frustrated with amount of issues I'm having with this specific car...
I have done 19000 KM.

What did you top it up with VW should only be topped up with the specific coolant used Either G12 Pink or G13 and NOT MIXED

Yes I made a stupid mistake by adding a Caltex one that is green in colour. I don't think it is G13.
I told them about that, they will flush it and add new coolant.
