   Hi, can anyone help me. My engine is leaking water, I thought it was coming from the water pipe, changed that only to find the engine had the leak coming from the side of the engine. Have tried the engine weld stuff but its still leaking. Help someone please

   Sounds to me like a core plug has gone. You will have to replace this if it is leaking.

   Hopefully it won't have worked it's way into the oilways. If the engine is running normally - not feeling underpowered of misfiring - then you might be lucky that it hasn't reached the pistons
