I just got myself a 1998 XJ 2.5TD and I'm loving it. But I've noticed that my engine coolant is leaking and I've most likely found the leaking point but as I'm new to this engine I can't come up with name of the part so I could search for new parts (gaskets, seals etc).
Here's a pic of the part. It's some kind of distribution part for the coolant. It looks like it leaks coolant where this part and engine meets so hopefully just by changing the gasket would fix it.
And yeah I need to do flushing for the system to get the rust and dirt out.
Stopped being lazy and went and removed the part. The VM part code is 91282521f and it's called coolant manifold thermostat housing. It seems that it's impossible to find new gaskets so I need to make new ones by myself.
Its definetly leaking from gaskets. Here's few pics if anyone is interested.
