Jim 2 Posted October 5, 2007 Double check right down at the base of the radiator, under the radiator fan switch and along the bottom hose also. I've replaced the radiator twice on my car now thinking it was to blame both times and it now seems that my bottom hose is ballsed. The level drops and the warning light is on most days but it doesn't spill obvious amounts of coolant - you really have to look closely down there to notice that there is moisture. It doesn't drop any onto the garage floor either. I suppose the other classic G60 places are the flanges on the side and front of the head.. and of course it could always be the dreaded head gasket. Also - are you running with one of the newer blue type expansion tank caps? If not, you should get one.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted October 7, 2007 this is what happened shortly before my thermostat housing totally bust and dropped all the coolant. would be fine sometimes, missing water another?? i think when it was getting hot it would leak or the other way round. i could see white around the pipe going to the housing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
