Default Leaking Near Manifold? Front of top end. Pictures attached.

Hi All,

So glad I found this site - I've been able to do a lot of maintenance on my own thanks to the great forums!

I am hoping someone can help me with a recent coolant leak I found. I've attached photos. My LR mechanic says it's not anything to worry about as the screws are plastic and that they flex causing some leakage but I want to be doubly sure.

Please see attached photos - any input would be great. Thanks again!

Default hard to see in the picture

Its hard to see from the picture but no leak in a LR is good news. They go from small to big in a flash and when they do they go Bang.... How nuch fluid are you adding a week?

Have you replaced the throttle body heater plate with a new one. Also when doing it get a 10 pack of mini hose clamps. Replace all that you can see. I would leave alone the ones on the coolant expansion tank.

Vandev, yes the pics are bad, sorry. Will take additional photos tomorrow in the sunlight. Im not burning any fluid...it seems but I'll have a better idea next week.

Boss - I haven't but I'm planning on it. There are some signs of leakage on the tb heater...maybe coolant is dripping from there or the hose clamps?

Isn't there something about replacing the plastic parts?
