Slight coolant leak near aux/timing belt area



  172/B8 Quattro
I have a slight leak near timing belt area, noticed today when fitting cooksports, it's dripping from underneath near aux/timing belt area, had a look on top and seems dry so must be coming from halfway down somewhere.
Now could this be water pump leaking? Water level was at just above min after a few days, however a few day ago I changed engine mount (drivers side) and must of started then as the engine leans when fitting.
I'm pretty certain it's only started since engine mount change.
Is there any pipes etc near that area that I may of interrupted when fitting engine mount?

Thanks in advance

Oh and it's a 172.

Cheers, maybe coincidence.
Going to buy pump and belt kit and get fitted. Is the dephaser worth doing also (not noisy)
And best place/price to get from?
Any decent fitters in west/south Yorkshire as they are a bugger todo.

You only need the pump, type d coolant and aux kit as it isn't run by the timing belt.

Iirc rstuning are up your way?

May as well do timing belt too seen as its apart?

I'd rarther not use them tbh, but I'm not going to explain over forum(s) as I know a lot like them
 
Well if the belts are due or nearly due get it all done if you want peace of mind.

If the cambelt isnt due for a while just have the pump, aux belt and tensioner kit changed with new coolant.
