Coolant leakage

Post by xavi »

Hi Guys,
Need help :(
I have a coolant leakage from a large screw from under the engine (2.1I 112 HP) 1987 model.
The screw is located not far from the oil drain plug.
Unfortunately I can not upload an image.
What is this screw for and how do I stop the leakage?
Kind regards :)

Not sure what screw you mean without a picture. But there is drain plug located on each side under the cylinder head between the push rods.
If its a bolt under the engine block, i.e in the same flat area as the oil drain plug, then must the coolant water come from some other place, since there is no coolant water in that area.

Thank you Paul for your input. The underside of the engine on my car is not like the image you posted.
I have got the images of the underside. How do I post them on this page?
