good luck with the diagnosis man, hope it's an easy fix!!
Not a constant leak as the stain on the driveway is only a recent thing although I have topped up my coolant three times in my ownership so it's either being used or leaking slowly. Not sure what parts are it as I haven't really done anything with the engine. Been going on the dont fix it if ain't broken yet. Haha. But will definitely be giving it all a massive service now.

Sounds like a decent enough plan to me. I should order my wider and lower gear..
Did a vag com scan today, this is what showed up.
2 Faults Found:
00668 - Supply Voltage Terminal 30
07-10 - Signal too Low - Intermittent
01247 - Activated Charcoal Filter (EVAP) System Solenoid Valve 1 (N80)
37-00 - Faulty
01247 = EVAP is connected into the air filter I believe and is only an emissions thing. If this is correct than this has been unconnected for ages as I have had a cold air intake connected since I bought it no problems. So that isn't the issue.
00668 = After some reading can be any electrical related fault. Got a new battery recently so could have been from that or possibly a relay is stuffing up so that's what I'm going to suss out.
Found the leak and it's oil not coolant. It's leaking from a part to the right of where the oil filter is. Not sure what it's called but there's three nuts with an oil seal around it and there was a little hole in the seal so i just smudged it over. Hopefully someone understands what I mean and can tell me what it is.
Rolled right rear fender completely flat as I got my hands on a mates heat gun. Not the best job in the world unfortunately. That sums up today!
After some research the part that's leaking is the oil cooler. Apparently a common fault, just needs to be tightened or a new seal hopefully.
Looking good, i dig the yellow fogs and also cant wait for the simmons to go on. Keep it up mate
