I noticed the van had a slight leak this morning and took this photo. Any ideas what that is that its leaking from? Can i just tighten it up?! - The van was serviced last week, would that have anything to do with it?

Yeh, actually on second inspection this morning (brrr!) i think it is coolant... It looks like its coming from the end of that pipe, any ideas what its called?!?!

So theres an o ring between those two parts? - Sorry for being so dim, im no mechanic!

So, silly question, If I undo that part (spanner?) will the coolant start pissing everywhere? How big a container should i use to catch it? It was only changed last week in the service so i dont want to renew if i can help it lol

Yes about 7 to 10 litres try and catch as much as you can and remove the pipe insert trying not to break it torx screw a think it is about size e8 torx
