Hi all,

Just took my 2001 Tuscan out for a wash and polish in the lovely evening sunshine and noticed a small pool of what looked like coolant under the front off side.

It was dripping from where the front grill bolts to the underside of the car....furthest offside bolt.

It's the 1st time i've noticed this....coolant level had dropped a little.

Have taken the front grill off for a better look and can't see anything obvious....dried everything off and will check tomorrow for fresh drips....just thought I'd post this out there for any ideas.

Cheers

Radiator,not easy to spot because where it leaks is covered by cowling.

gmw9666,

Mine did the same or similar the other day. After a drive it spewed an amount of coolant from the radiator cap (new cap) I'm told that the engine will find it's own level and loose the rest. Did 500 miles on the long weekend no leaks and level is good with no over heating. In the elbow of the filler spout you should see roughly 10mm of coolant there.

You should find where it is coming from though.
