You can get it from Super Crap Auto. It will fix the problem. I use it on a truck at work that had a annoying slow leak somewhere in the cooling system. Fixed the problem. Its about $60 but it works.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 2m 16d Gender: Male Posted 28/06/14 03:14 PM Share Posted 28/06/14 03:14 PM I would still retorque the head bolts a bit more than stock settings (yes TTY just do it ) or put studs in. That sort of leak seems to happen under boost rather than just normal driving.
