Coolant leak

[jakewaze]

Hi
My Vn S1 V6 has started to leak coolant from the drivers side botton of the radiator. I can't see where it coming from i can see it running down the plastic gaurd under the front of the car. So is there a drain plug at the bottom that could be leaking or is the radiator screwed. By the way it is only a small leak after it has warmed up and is then turned off.
thanks.

I had this problem ended up being a small leak in the core. A radiator sealer temporarily fixed the problem for now, a pressure test would give you a better indication.

And theres no drain plug, you just take off the bottom hose thats connected to the radiator and it will drain.

Might be a crack in the plastic side. My sister had that problem and had to replace the radiator. Got one off ebay for a hundred bucks.

i had a crack in the drivers side plastic header. got one off ebay for ~110 and chucked it in. hours work max, i guess less on a S1 that bleeds itself

i think if you lean on the fan shroud it can put pressure on the tanks and crack them.
