Ok just got a quick q about the cooling system.

went to look at a 2007 (old shape model)the other night,
whilst we had the engine running we popped the bonnet just to have a look and we noticed that the expansion tank has two pipes going into the top of it.
We noticed there was water continuously running out of both pipes into the expansion tank (i assume that is what it is, on the top right had side of the engine bay as you look at it) and we wonderd if that was correct???

The engine had only been on for a few miniutes and the van had not moved.

cheers in advance.
