MikeS u checked the pump ? as mark_g had same problem and it leaked water when pressure increased inside the cooling system

MikeS u can reach the pump from simply putting your hand down the rear of the head below the air con pipe [valve] get your hand underneath and if you get any liquid on your hand it aint good lol
poundy ATOM X said: That IS good news so whatever the fault it should be easy & cheap to fix once found i did look tho when it was warm. should i look when its cold? would you still see it when its warm/hot??
poundy JohnnyN said: A leak will be easier to spot once the engine is hot. The system is under pressure once hot. wasnt sure if the water would just evaporate tho when hot so it wouldnt be easy to see??
