Mystery leak

[lockdown]

I have a coolant leak somewere in the very front, left of the engine in my vt. Thought it was the radiator but it is only leaking when engine has just stopped. Seams to lose about 1/2 litre or so then stops. Any ideas???

coolant overflow tank

As in other thread , if it's dumping out under passenger side guard in front of wheel then it's the overflow bottle , get a new radiator cap and it should all be happy . Get the cooling system pressure tested at a radiator shop to make sure it no gaskets are buggered

Also could be HVAC unit or heater core leaking as mine has just done, oh gotta love the commodores for this

If it was that , then wouldn't it be leaking inside the car ?, I'd say overflow bottle , might pay get it pressure checked to be on the safe side .

Yeah I noticed this double thread, coolant over flow bottle and crap loads of steam and possibly air in the system, try bleeding the air if ness and those bottle always get a nice big crack in em
