check all your coolant hoses are on and the jub clips are on nice and tight.

main one i know of to come off is the one central to the radiator. looks like a black hose, and if its coming off you'll see a threaded looking pipe with it.

just have a quick check its not coming from the water pump area

 

[dottyscog]

will go and have a check

 

[dottyscog]

right checked all pipes water pump is fine seems to be coming from under the airfilter around the thermostat i think it is

Could be you're thermostat seal on the side of the head, htakr it off and inspect it. Just follow the wey bits till you find it. Take stuff off if you have to bud

 

[dottyscog]

[dottyscog]

oh well last a while hopefully water pump seems fine like think i will need a thermstat or a new seal mabye

If you f**k you're water pump, it runs off the cambelt so unless you have the skills to do it you're going to pay out a fair bit. K seal is sketchy x

Where's the LIKE button!?!

K-Seal is the Devil as it lines the entire coolant system and will eventually cause all your rubber pipes to split. It also blocks the heater matrix up and can cause other problems. The only way to fully purge it from the coolant system is to replace everything.

Honestly, why they even sell this stuff anymore is beyond me especially when Forte's "Stop Leak" solutions are cheaper, safer, better to use as temporary measures.

I have a similar problem. Coolant is leaking from the bottom of the radiator, when I put my hand down the bottom of the radiator is crumbling away guess it needs to be replaced?
