My Jaguar S type 2.7d has been losing a little coolant. I
gave it a thorough inspection today, removing the lower cover, air filter etc.It seems the coolant is leaking from the passenger side of
the engine and there is some of it leaking down this pipe hereThis appears to be a coolant metal pipe which joins to
rubber pipes at the bottom and near the top of the engine. I have looked near
the top join but there doesn’t seem to be any leaking however, there is a metal
thing sticking out from the engine about half way up which has coolant on it
and it almost touches this pipe. I am not sure what it is because I cannot see
it from the top at all and visibility from the bottom is poor, it is on the
passenger side of the engine. I did wonder if it is a thermostat housing or
something? If anyone has any advice it would be gratefully appreciated. Here it
is. -

Thanks for that folks! I may have more question if and when I get stuck!

I was thinking of having a go at servicing my S-type myself. Is there a list of what is done for the minor and major service?
I will be getting help from my friend who has worked on a lot of old cars but the most complex one he has done is the vauxhall C20xe so whether the 2.7d is a lot more complex to service?
Any advice/guidance would be great.

Hi Ken, thanks for getting back. The car was up to temperature and pressurised when lifted and inspected but no obvious sprays could be seen. Even tried with engine running too.
