Steaming - eek!
Discussion
So, topped up the oil today, noticed the coolant (or whatever - on the left hand side) was below the min mark, so topped that up with water.
Took her for a spin, all was well, until I stopped at home, and noticed steam coming out of the engine cover.
Opened the boot, and as far as i can tell it was coming from the coolant thing, and there was water all over the engine near it.
This has never happened before, so should i have filled it with something other than water?
I'm somewhat panacking as ive heard about the header tank not being covered under warranty, and a pricey fix... it seemed fine... but i'm looking for some reassurance!

Well, the level was a few mm over the min, so i made sure the cap was tight and went for a 'gentle' drive.
All was well.
Then I had some fun, and it was still fine.
So either I was a numpty and didnt secure the cap, or the crack is higher up... so ill fill it up tomorrow and try again :kneesknocking:
