so recently had a water leak thought the culprit would be the usual ...crack in expansion tank/lower and upper hoses and mayb waterpump althought i did mine awhile back so doubted that one nevertheless few days ago water started pissing out of the car inspected it and was the expansion tank ...BUT not jus any crack from heat or pressure or age but from......wait for it....a broken engine mount :dropjaw: my one engine mount broke and as a result on acceleration the engine would pull towards the left and the pulley/belt infront of the tank touched the tank ever so slightly and slowly but surely grinded a huge gaping hole into my expansion tank luckily there looks like no further damage to the engine belts ok pulleys looks fine transmition feels gd :mmm: hpe the tank is the extent of the damage
