Default Re: TDCi (apparent) head gasket failure

It's been three years since I did my timing belt, but yes the photo does match the engine.

On mine the water pump seal was weeping, so another theory might be that coolant came from there...

The belt runs more or less between the two tracks of supposed coolant in the photo. The idler mounting bolt holt can be seen immediately to the right of the tracks. My thought was that given it's a ribbed belt whoosing up through there maybe the coolant was swept up.
