I've got a bit of an issue, coolent seems to be leaking from my Tsi, but cant see exactly where. It appears to be from housing sitting under intake manifold. Tried to get a photo.

Loosing a bit when at pressure, but no leaks when cold.
I'm about 500miles from home on a camping / biking trip to Wales then north Devon so fearing the worst here.
Does it look like thermostat stat?

The water pump is on the gearbox side of the thermostat / thermostat housing, so looks very likely to be water pump and/or thermostat housing.
