Car just had a little wee...

[davido140]

Just got back from a 90 minute VERY enthusiastic drive.

Car was running very well, exceptionally smooth and not a hint of a problem.

Stopped back at home and put the "lid" back on. Only to notice a little trickle of coolant. Looks to have come from almost directly under the oil/water/brakefluid top up area.

Its not dripping any more, seems to have been a quick trickle and thats it.

The car was very warm by the time I got back, 90 degree oil and water.

The water cap seems to be on very tight, but I'll check again when its all cooled down.

Anywhere else it might be leaking from I should check?

Cheers

Dave

do you have aircon? That dribbles from behind the nearside front wheel.

IF not it might be the coolant expansion tank letting a bit out if you have slightly overfilled it. If not then check radiator hoses and the radiator. Some leaks will only show up when under load.

Good luck. It's worth finding the leak now rather than overheating at a bad time.

no aircon, will have a rummage around hoses on the weekend.

I guess its a real pain to find a leak thats only there when the car is very hot as under the bonnet is not a nice place to be with a hot engine!

The rad often leaks where the plastic end caps join the ally centre section.

perhaps slightly loose coolent resavoir top, my oled Tusca had a habit of leaving a deposit ..........

My screen wash has sprung a leek and emptied out in more or less the same place.

I believe plastic header tanks on the radiators commonly leak. If so replace with an all Alloy job.

The Sagaris does that when it gets excited........
