My car is loosing water, only slowly but all the same water is dissapering. Is there a good place to check first?. No problem with cooling and the temp remains constant but any advice appreciated.

Cheers

If your hoses are originals, I'd check for leaks at the joins. Clips worked slowly loose on mine. Might also be perishing hoses that need replacement - one of mine was in a pretty poor state when I replaced them a couple of weeks ago.

I'm not sure if your car has water cooled turbos or not but it was the hoses to the water jackets on the turbos that needed attention on mine.

Mine weeped from one of the rear turbo cooling hoses. Only did it when hot so was a real bugger to find.
