whats the verdict here ? seem to have a leak on the passenger side of the engine , has anyone else had a leak here ?

There's a gasket in behind that tandem pump that leaks.

You'll probably have to do the O-ring on the water outlet below it too, as it'll fail and cause a nice coolant leak.

Agree 100% with ^, replace both gasket and o-ring to make sure no other leaks occur

Hey Mate

I have the exact same problem - what did you end up paying to get this done and has it fixed the problem?

Cheers
