    Could be Head Gaskets. Have you got water on your dipstick. Top it up and go for a drive and park on concrete then before you move it again check under the car, use anti freeze or something as its coloured. It could be welsh plugs.

    Get the cooling system pressure tested.This test is cheap to get done and is the only way to be sure the head and inlet manifold gaskets are ok.

    Thanks NeilB, I will look into that and give it a try!

    Thanks Brett, My Mechanic is a good friend of mine, And I'm always getting services and checks done on my car, He has done 2 pressure checks now, And also one where the blue dye turns green if there's a problem.

    I've personally not been able to find the problem at all, It doesn't seem to be going on the ground at all, Seen nowhere, Can't even see it through the engine, We ordered a new Coolant Cap "Forgot it's real name" Just to make sure it's not that, It didn't seem to be holding pressure properly.

    Cars, Go so very well and then out of the blue a problem or two!
