Hi - whereabouts is the leak coming from?
Some causes:-
Damaged radiator
Hoses needing tightening
Y piece under expansion broken
Old silicone or metal water hoses needing replacing.
Expansion cap not on tight/needing replacing

Check the hose clips have not rusted and given away.

Rad is well hidden by fan shroud and aircon condenser. A partially blocked weeping rad could easily be the cause.

thankyou for your replies ,managed to get under and have a look .leak was coming from behind the alu plate , once removed noticed the leak coming from a split coolant pipe caused by an over tightened clip ,
thank god it was nothing to serious
once again thanks for your advice no doubt ill be needing it again !
