Astra 2.2 Sri gurgles and leaking.

Gregg

Hi.
I have a Astra 2.2 Sri

Sicne owning the car it has been loosing a fair amount of Coolant, it gurgles a fair bit which would indicate an air lock, however there seems to be a bit of a leak from the driver side of the engine.
Any suggestions as to what this may be? All pipes appear fine and not split i would anticipate every time i start it up its loosing about a 10cmx10cm puddles worth from the drivers side area

if it is gurgling especially on cold starts it is usually the piping and heater matrix

they did rot on cavaliers & calibras around that area causing the coolant to look like oil but infact it was rust

suggest u start checking your hosing , thermostat, waterpump & rad for leaks
