tough call man. it could be from a number of common areas. 1. resevoir 2 crackpipe/thermostat housing 2. radiator simplest would be from the coolant temp sensor flange or oring, -or- the y -pipe on the radiator that splits off with a 5-6mm id line to the coolant overflow bottle, they are prone to cracking. without looking at it, its hard to say. im leaving for a few weeks today so all i can say is good luck, and dont let it run hot! ---

I am pissed now… when I bought my Jetta, I wasnt offered a crackpipe option. Was that a VAG option, or did you get it aftermarket? ---

E,check vwvortex. i think its in the front of the motor and my guess is the crackpipe. ---

i’d have to agree that its most likely the crack pipe, its right on the front of the motor, right near the oil filter housing. stock plastic ones are prone to failure. ---
