Coolant leak....help...(pic)
After driving today I noticed coolant smell. So I checked under the car for leakage....nothing, then I looked around the motor and noticed there is a little puddle of coolant right above the LIM. Is it because of the Water-Jacket O-rings? if it is, what steps should I take? It seems like this is a very common problem with FCs, maybe there is a write up somewhere....
Thanks for all the help.

Check the back of your water pump housing too.

Yeah it's a TII...
The back of the water pump housing is ok, not really any wetness there....

It's the o-rings for your lower intake manifold, they seal the lower intake to the engine block. They let the coolant flow threw the intake then out to your turbo. I had that same leak and replaced the o-rings and it fixed it. It is common on the t2's.
