Hello, I hope I just found the right place for us (Me and my Matiz). There were a lot of problems which I solved all alone with much trouble. Hope to get good company here.
The latest is the engine coolant leak near the inlet manifold, just aside the belt cover, at the top. I saw escaping steam and put an Epoxy sealant. It worked for several weeks. But yesterday after reaching home, I found coolant loss with steam escaping sound again. I checked the seal, it was fine. Maybe new cracks for leak have developed at the bottom of the sealed area and I cannot reach to those. I cannot get a new plastic manifold as it is very expensive and possibly out of stock. Any innovative ideas to fix this permanently?
