Coolant Leak

[pa4ul]

Okay i got a 2003 1.8t and i had a coolant leak before. I took it to a shop and they had fixed it for a pretty penny Coolant Flange. Now it seems i have a leak again on the right side of the engine facing it. the coolant seems to flow out after i have the car run for a few minutes but if the car isnt on it dosent seem to leak almost nothing like dripdrip. Any insight.

By right side are you talking intake mani side? If so it could be the Thermal Coolant Plug.

yes it is on the intake manifold side. IT seems to be coming out from underneath the injectors or somewhere in that general area i can find the exact spot.

thermostat, or there is a plug that plugs into the side of the housing on the block for the thermostat that can start to leak.
