This pic is from under the drivers side of my 1995 Lucida. The bit with the arrow pointing at it is dripping coolant. Any ideas what it is and why there might be a leak in this area? I have not been able to see this bit from either the inspection hatch under the drivers seat or from under the bonnet.

Oo Oo, one I can answer :lol: :lol: :lol:

That is for the rear heater on northern spec models. I've heard of them leaking before.
It would need a coolant drain, then remove the rubber bung and re-seal. Is the coolant coming out of the bung or ( as it looks) leaking out over the top. If it is over the top, it could just be corrosion on the pipe breaking the seal.

I think its from over the top. Will need to jack up the bus a bit higher tomorrow so that I can get a better look. Hopefully it won't be too hard to fix. Need to drain the system anyway as there is another leak from the large hose connection near to the oil filter. Maybe one day I will get all these little annoying things fixed and get back to enjoying my bus.
