Advice needed, coolant leak from timing cover area.

Post by Ringo72 »

Hello everyone!!
I own a 2002 Passat TDI AVF engine, now recently I started leaking coolant. It comes down right were the engine timing cover is, I took the cover off and suspected it was coming from the water pump. So I order the timing belt kit so that I could tackle it over the weekend.
But now it seems that is leaking left of the water pump, I don’t suspect the headgasket is blown allowing coolant to leak out to the engine block. Is that possible?
One thing I noticed that whenever I add coolant, immediately I see a small drip from the side of the cambelt.
Has anyone ever had or heard that happening. Thanks in advance for any info or suggestions. :sad:
