water loss

thought i had a valley gasket water leak as kept seeing water at the rear end of valley. Not a one to be worried by such things, keep an eye on it keep topping it up be ok till i get week end on it. Gave it a spanking tonight, yep found it a split small hose of the thermostat. that made it easy lol.

Sometimes the jubilee clips there just need a tweak.

I think they can corrode a bit, they do have a swaged end, I put two clips on each pipe just to be sure.

I would also check your thermo gasket too. Water that leaks from there will drip into the valley and work its way to the rear...

Do you meanthese leaky little buggers??





I currently have this one stripped on my office desk for a clean up and new fuel hose installation, so if you need anymore photos or have any questions then message me or have a look at my photobucket account.

I had almost similar situation last summer, ie. water at the valley. The amount of water on the valley increased and I found out it was the thermostat gasket that was leaking. Dunno why, though, it seemed fine when I open the thermostat box:
