[Vwdiesel] Coolant Leak at Cylinder Head Flange, 1.9L NA engine

[Shawn Wright]

I'm glad this one came up... it might explain my weeping coolant flange, also installed 
with a new gasket. I will see if I can remove one bolt at a time and apply some RTV - 
I usually use blue or copper for coolant though.
