slight water leak
ok guys im back, ive got the oil thing and boost solenoid sorted now another problem..
after a moderate to hard drive i pull up the drive and let it idle .while its idling i notice steam from under the bonnet, as i look under the bonnet there is water to the left (as you look at it) of the radiator on the pastic bits. i cant seem to narrow it down more than that at the moment, i think its on the radiator but not totally sure.
my question is what would be the best rad seal to use to try and eliminate this.
i understand it better to change radiator or pipes or whatever it may be, but not got the funds at the minute after many other nasty little jobs.
thanks

Had the same problem happen to my 96 wrx on xmas day .
The plastic side tanks are common for splitting ....so i just got my rad repaired....they usually keep the side tanks in stock as they are so common for splitting...had new core in mine too.

Don't be tempted to by second hand as i was or 6 months down the line you will go through the whole thing again.
There is a guy on ebay called "rads-ago-go-01" do a search for him then ask him if he's got any in stock. He imports direct from japan at half the dealer price.
