hard to tell exactly where. its coming from the drivers side of the motor, near the top. eegad hopefully not the head gasket. the exact spot is hidden by the alternator from the bottom and turbo hoses from the top. its just a slow drip.
anybody see this before?

Guess 41 needs to break silence.
Does the leak occur when the engine is running, shut off , or both ?

got a coolant leak before. it sprayed like a spider web in size when radiator gets pressurized.
...corner tip of the sensor touches the radiator hose and pinch a small hole.
