water outlet - well, depends on what part its leaking from...
the water outlet is attached to the thermostat housing on the inline 6 cars (at least one of them is) - there is a gasket between these two - clean and replace the gasket with new... there is also the possibility it is leaking from the hose connection - perhaps time for a new hose and hose clamp...
anything more specific? picture of leak perhaps?
its quite easy to do yourself if you have some basic tools,

I dont have any pics...at least not yet. I'll see if i can take some and i'll post them up. Also, i'm only going by what my service advisor told me.....so there may be no leak at all - just the dealership trying to milk me for my money.
