My 08 CTT that had a following entry in the service records at 42K miles:

"...COOLANT LEAKING FROM REAR COOLANT DISTRIBUTOR HOUSING ON REAR OF CYLINDER HEADS. LOWER ENGINE ASSEMBLY, RESEAL COOLANT HOUSING, RESEAL COOLANT PIPE TO HOUSING, INSTALL ENGINE, TOP UP ALL FLUIDS."

What I can't determine is if any pipes are other parts were changed or upgraded, seems like they just "resealed" everything.
