    Go to a mechanic and get a pressure test done. Will take all of 2 minutes!

    I am not an expert but did replace my radiator a few weeks ago off ebay $120 delivered to my home. Done several thousand Ks so far and no problems. 12 months warranty included. VTs have a bad name for plastic end tanks splitting and it is cheaper to replace than to repair

    I had the same drama, turned out my radiator was busted and it began leaking coolant & water.
    What color is your water? if you notice a red tinge to it (using green coolant), it may be because your radiator has too much rust (what happened to me), so I just got it replaced and it's been perfect since.

    if its leaking out the passenger side and you cant see any stain on the tank or radiator , it may be a faulty radiator cap letting all the coolant out into the bottle which would then over flow, , go to the place i pmed you about and they will test it for you gratis
