One of my welsh plugs (I think that's what they are called) is leaking water on the driver side of the engine of my 280. Is there a way of fixing it in the car?

I am replacing the engine within the next few months (once I have decided with what), so I don't want to take out the engine now.

Thanks

Re: Water Leak

Hi Christo think you mean "core" plugs!! 33p each from MB but try Crewe Engines Ltd.. the hardest part is fitting it..if you want to do a temporary repair buy a tin of " Hard Metal " or "Belzona" paste.. clean the area thoroughly and fill the cavity with the paste...has been known to last 12 months ..and more...
