A4 b5 coolant loss

[Andy avant b5]

Hi there I have a a4 b5 avant 1.8t noticed my coolant has started to drop when I look at the back of the engine I can see where the leak is it looks like it's coming from the oil cooler pink staining on it is it a easy job

People have told me it's probably the seal

Also looks like I have a bit of a oil leak down there too both are gathering on top of the gearbox

Anyone??

The oil cooler pipes can corrode under the coolant hoses and cause a leak, should be ok to clean up and re-fit if that's the issue

OK bud cheers going to have a look tomorrow hopefully if it is the hoses there easy enough to get

I think it's both hoses because there's coolant as well have ordered a new o ring for the cooler so going to do that to
