Hi all hope your all well.
Not posted on here for a while, but recently planned a trip away in our Motorhome only to discover coolant leaking from underneath from rear of engine. Leak got worst when I revved engine. On further inspection and removal of Inlet Manifold, Exhaust Manifold, front Exhaust pipe, Turbo and a few other parts. I could see one of the smaller engine core plugs was leaking.
I've ordered new ones to replace the all, but on removing the steel pipe which runs along rear of engine from water pump to thermostat. I decided to check inside the water pump by first cleaning it then pointing my phone in and taking a photo.
There is a part of it which doesn't look right to me, I just wanted others opinions to see if the part circled in red in photo is normal or some plastic or gasket slipped down/broken off.
I look forward to your comments as usual and appreciate any words of advice.
Regards
Paul
