Hi and welcome to the OOF

I seem to have the same problem after fitting a new exhaust manifold gasket.
It seems the leak is intermitant and is coming from the back of the OS cylinder back
I seem to remember thats where the Heater Bypass Valve (HBV) is located.

It's NOT easy to get to

Hi Gizmo, welcome to the forum.
If you post probs / symptoms in Omega General Help ( not General chat!), there will be bods who go there often only too willing to give advice  :y
