Technical water/coolant leak

[Fiatrick]

noticed when changing coolant on the bravo 2.0 20v, that it was leaking, seems to be from top of the engine from the pipe running behind the exhaust manifold. its dripping on the engines right side ( by cambelt) can see Water run behind the alternator. are there any gaskets ?

sorry, for bad English.

Is it the aluminum pipe that goes the width across the cylinder head. If so then yes. There is a steel shim gasket.

alright. will have a look at it. is it a commonplace for a leak on the 20v's ?

Glad you got an answer ?,

it sounds like the coolant link pipe from the engine to the RAD.
a common enough problem area,
different metals expanding at different rates = a difficult thing to seal,

have changed the gasket between the pipe and the engine today. but there is still some coolant dripping from around there.
