Just my luck..... car didnt leak a drop of coolant until extractors were fitted & car running on the hoist. Not just a leak, but pouring out between the inlet manifold & head, right on the corner.
Added 2/3 a bottle of Scott's stop leak, and that killed the leak almost immediately, but i dont have much faith in it staying like that for very long. What parts do i need to collect to replace this gasket, and stuff that probably should be changed whilst this is being done, thanks

This front passenger side bolt almost always seizes and snaps off into the head, most likely what has happened here.
Be very carefully when removing the bolts, spouse them in wd40 or something similar to soften it up.
