Do you have some pictures of your engine showing the "V" and the rear and right bottom end? There is a square hole in the casting right below the hose-nipple on the rear right end. Is this hole only a blind? Is there any drain channel from the "V" and down on the RH side?

Trying to figure out where this is comming from:

The fluid looks pretty clear a lot like water. Are you sure its coolant? Any chance its coming from the paper inlet manifold gasket. my experience suggests you need to nip these up after a few thousand miles.

A couple of other photos of the same area.

Its funny that you popped up on this thread today as I'm coming across to the Forus area tomorrow for 2 days on business.
