Had something very similar, turned out that the plastic inside the oil filter housing had perished. Replaced this and no leaks since.
This was an oil leak, no? I'm slowly loosing coolant.

The coolant passes through the filter housing along with oil for the heat exchanger.
Pretty good video here and the signs to confirm.

Mounted caddy life mirrors. 2 hours of fiddling and only broke 1 clip on sail panel and lost 1 bolt inside the door. Sail panels were a pita to remove. But absolutely worth the work.

I can recognize those broken clips and lost bolts situations! Every time I go on and try to improve on the caddy I also tend to brake some clips
Nice upgrade! Im looking for Caddy life mirrors as well. Looks so much better!!

Darkside flip kit and b8 shocks fitted to rear as part of the b14 kit. White line rear arb fitted as well
Had to go hunting around for leaf springs on a Saturday before people shut as one snapped in half as soon as I removed the shackle so replaced both sides to be on the safe side.
Give it all a good clean up tomorrow before getting all tightened up and new wheels on

Got it dropped today with the new alloys on the rear
Think the bronze bola and blackberry work quite well together

Finally got around to doing an info video for my Fiamma Low Loader bike carrier conversion.
Not great, but hopefully helpful.

Yay !
Got a new HDPE board to mount my cooker burner on.
Chose a nice Grey Granite board to sort of match the rest of the fittings.
When it arrived I was a little disappointed as it was a bit scratched and had obvious shiny production tool marks
Luckily - A quick rub down with a grey Scotchbrite pad and it looks much better
Half way on this side ... As it arrived on the left of this image
Better check it fits now !
Phew
Looks nicer than the blue one, though functionally no different.
Just got to drill a few holes now ...

New caddy owner (14 SWB DSG in red).
I've removed all the old boards in the back, took out the bulkhead, cleaned the inside and run the g900 camera cable to the back door.
Need to work out how to power it next. Then start on sound deadening.
