What chambers under the rocker cover of a Cupra R are water cooled?

[B3LSY]

Right can anyone tell me what chambers under the rocker cover are water cooled?
As i have a problem i took the bracket off which covers the coilpacks which is on the right side,took out one off the bolts and there was a slight bit of water/coolant not (sure) not alot but i took the bolt out then screwed it half way back in and the water was still there, there is now vacum or air coming out the hole/thread any ideas anyone? the engine is still under warrantty so its going in saturday any ideas anyone?

any pics of the hole u took the bolt from. there isnt any water jacket up there just oil ways in the head.

 

[B3LSY]

think it was a false alarm just went out and took the bolt out stuck a few cotton buds down the thread and its bone dry,havent got any pics mate its the bracket that covers the 2 right side coilpacks,ive been loosing cooliant the past few weeks,and some white smoke in the mornings when it starts up

 

[CupraMVR]

sounds like that wants looking into more white smoke not good thing.
cold mornings make show more signs of smoke but should clear.

may have you washed your engine off or something if there was water there before.

 

[B3LSY]

the smoke does clear only lasts a few minutes its the coolant going low after week thats worrying me mate,we had stupid amounts of rain yesterday and i was driving in it

 

[CupraMVR]

no wet carpets in the car/
i just done a heater matrix in a lcr they was split. using water about the same 1 week a header tank

coolant temp sensor is common place for them to leak aswell

Do these water pumps have the ball bearing escape path if the pump fails?

How do you mean where the water comes out if it builds up too much pressure?

 

[LEE69]

Like a fail safe, i guess not.

Like the reservoir cap?

 

[Lodgey180]

there is no coolant lines that go that high over the rocker cover anyway ?? strange how there is water n there especailly with the heat of you driving it and you still have to seat sport cover on ??
