Header tank leaking
Hi people in need of your help I have a my95 wrx turbo but recently fitted a sti8 engine ect and new age header tank anyway drove to work today and once here left it ticking over and noticed a bit of steam coming out from under the bonnet,
So opening it up I noticed there was a slight coolant drip which looks like it's coming out of the side of the header tank, I have the metal tank which is sealed with the 10mm bolts, now the car never over heated it was just a slight drip now would there be any serious reason for this or could it just be a case
Of needs taking of resealin and refitting it as I bought the tank second hand,

i had the same problem on mine there is a large o ring seal under the top plate you cant get a replacement part so i made a replacement and stuck the ends together with super glue works for me
the stuff you wont is Metric 'O' Ring Cord Nitrile Rubber just make sure you get the right size its on ebay
