EGR Cooler leaking
After a frustrating 2 hour internet search I have eventually discovered the name of the EGR Cooler.
My PUMA is over heating and loosing power
Engine coolant level is dropping at approximately 5 liters every 10 km
Excessive water was being emitted from the exhaust
After an extensive search, by my mechanic, he found a tiny pin prick leak in the 'ERG Cooler' on the side with the multiple small holes.
Could this be the reason for coolant loss out the exhaust?
Some rapid assistance would be greatly appreciated!

PS I cant figure out how to post an image on this forum.

Thanks dgardel.
I have removed the cooler.
Would this cause loss of coolant out the exhaust?
