Water Leak

PowR_Remap

Hi all,

I seem to have a water leak somewhere, steam will flow from the drivers side edge of the bonnet and around that area.

I have been topping it up but its done a water bottle in 500 miles.

Upon opening the bonnet to see where the leak is, shows no steam but there is a coolant smell.

There does not seem to be a puddle of any sort either under the engine when left to stand.

possibly a tiny hole in the rad ?

I was thinking that, but I left carboard underneath the car overnight in a garage to see where it dripped and there was none, inside the engine bay looks dry too.

I think its going to end up being a pressure test.

Car has a slight misfire on idle with a lumpy idle too

Ps does anyone have the part number for the water coolant hose that goes from the rad to the thermostat? Mines a little worn and could do with replacing however i dont think its the cause as its dry.
