he put some sealant in the coolant and told me to take care. is this job really difficult and what does it entail hopefully it will be ok.

Last post

It depends on exactly what is leaking. 2l / month is pretty heavy, and is going to cost a fortune in coolant!! If it wasn't leaking before, then maybe he messed up the operation, and now wants shot of it? There is a plastic intake housing on the back of the block, which is a known weak point - it might need the OS drive shaft removing to change it...

It's known that the Xsara fuseboxes can differ from the diagrams from previous experience - the important thing is you've located it. Hopefully that'll be your problem.
