Seep of coolant left top ,think it could be from the small pipe that is in the rad under the air intake,it's a bug wrx. Are these prone to trouble

Thins
 
ya the auld plastic isin't great on them

few options though

recondition it, buy new or buy an alloy one
 
The top inlet end tanks give problems due to it being the side where the hot coolant enters. I would'nt try and repair the plastic as it tends to go where there is a tiny join line and will only split again. Mine did the same recently but I'd a spare off the type R lying round. Alloy ones are an option but don't buy a cheap chinese one. RCM run a standard OEM one in the Gobstopper and apparently they are perfect for the job, even with an engine running 800+ BHP. :thumbsup:
