i know this is omega owners but a family member needs advice with his vectra 2.2
basically he has a water leak from the rear of his engine it is a z22?? , there is a metal pipe that appears to join the water pump and the water is leaking from that region, however it only leaks when the engine is at operating temp and does not leak when the engine is switched off , is there any gaskets there?

I was thinking of posting this in an inappropriate part of OOF; just so I can say "Oh yes it is!"


Omega (uppercase [ch937], lowercase [ch969]) is the 24th and last letter of the Greek alphabet. In the Greek numeric system, it has a value of 800. The word literally means "great O" ([ch333] mega, mega meaning 'great'), as opposed to Omicron, which means "little O" (o mikron, micron meaning "little").[1] This name is Byzantine; in Classical Greek, the letter was called [ch333] ([ch8038]), whereas the Omicron was called ou ([ch959][ch8022]).[2] The form of the lowercase letter derives from a double omicron, which came to be written open at the top.

Phonetically, the Ancient Greek [ch937] is a long open-mid o [[ch596][ch720]], similar to the vowel of English raw in certain dialects such as RP where this word is pronounced [[ch633][ch596][ch720]]. It should not be confused with the sound of English so-called "long o" as in ocean, which is either diphthongal [o[ch650]] or [[ch601][ch650]] or a close-mid kind of "o"

• , in either case distinctly different from the "long o" sound of Greek omega and closer to the Classical Greek sound represented by [ch959][ch965] before this came to be pronounced . In Modern Greek [ch937] represents the same sound as omicron. The letter omega is transcribed [ch333] or simply o.

Omega (the last letter of the Greek alphabet) is often used to denote the last, the end, or the ultimate limit of a set, in contrast to Alpha, the first letter of the Greek alphabet. In the New Testament book of Revelation, God is declared to be the "alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last".[3]
