    Default Hissing noise from under bonnet after driving

    got 2nd hand engine put in, after driving now there seems to be a hissing noise, sort of like a snagga on a bbq coming from a hose after driving for a while. green (i assume coolent) dripping from under car. any suggestions? not a big mechanical sorta guy

    Try tightening the hose clamps or replace the hose if it has a hole in it.

    Someone tied a sausage to your exhaust manifold.

    Bastards.

    Or there could be a leak somewhere.
    Try and track it down.
