Seem to have developed a leak and losing coolant from low down near the passenger side of the radiator. Not had chance to get under it yet to have a closer look but are there any common faults with hoses down there I should be looking out for? Is this another one of these areas where rubbing can cause a problem? Are radiator hoses easily available or should I be looking to order a length of hose up to make up my own? Hoping its the hose rather than the radiator itself!! Typical too as I wanted to take it out for a run yesterday after it lying for 6 weeks or so through the worst of the weather. Battery dead as a dead thing and no coolant in header tank.....
Try looking at the pipe which runs along the inner wing under the fuse box, drivers side. The pipe rubs on a bolt sticking out of thr chassis rail.
The next area is also on the drivers side at the rear of the drivers side cylinder head.Failing that you will have to check the whole system.... hope it helps.

yeah I know about those two areas thanks but its definitely passenger side down at the bottom of the radiator, just cant tell if its the hose or the radiator yet. Its blowing a gale and p***ing it down here so not the best weather to jack a car up on the driveway and go crawling about under it 
could be the end tank on the rad , the plastic tank on mine has a split near the top fan mounting. It only leaks a bit but runs down the outside ( eng side) of the tank and ends up on the floor under the car. I've got a new rad but haven't fitted it yet. Watch out as the shipping charges are more than the cost of the rad!! Aus $ 180 for the rad and $220 to ship!
