Supercharged 2 Posted July 20, 2008 If it's dropping then yes it's leaking - have a look for white deposits around the engine bay... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted July 20, 2008 It depends where its leaking from mate - there are a lot of possibilities - hoses, water pump, plastic coolant flanges onto the cylinder head? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted July 20, 2008 if it needs changing they will, but as said the coolant can leak from many places Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
