Would you be pissed if a client leaves a note like this one in his car for
you to read ? Would you pay any attention to it ?

Dear Technician,

Please bear with my poor English.

I added 2 liter of coolant within the last 6 to 8 month. You will find the
recovery tank full because I fill it last week. The black line on it tells
me if I lost any coolant.

The level of Potassium and Sodium are within the condemnable limit.Lub oil
analysis available, looks to me that the coolant isn't going in the
crankcase yet.

However you can see trace of leaks at the rear and at front of the left bank
cylinder head at the junction of the lower intake manifold and the cylinder
head.

At the front of it it's a mix of oil and coolant, on few occasion I was able
to detect using a strong light a very small drop of coolant at the very
bottom of the leak path almost on the lower intake manifold.

At the rear of the head it's more likely an oil leak, if you look carefully
you will find a small accumulation of oil. If you slid let say a tie wrap
like I did under the intake you will get a fair good amount of oil on it.

Dont get me wrong ,with this note I am not trying to tell you what to do,
YOU are the professional, I was just trying to share my conclusion. My
background is locomotive mechanics, so these little engine are not my
specialty !!!

Thanks for your help.

Richard
