    Default Vt still leaking water, help!

    When ever i go for a drive when i stop i can hear a hissing noise coming from the engine somewhere but it slows down and stops a few minutes after i have turned the car off so i can never manage to find where its coming from. Its leaking water and only does it while the car is running or shortly after iv turned it off. Iv just replaced the water pump and thermostat so its definatly not coming from there. Where else could it be leaking from?

    Cheers

    Cant you leave the car running and have a look around? Could be a small pin size hole in a radiator hose

    i was wrong! turns out it was the heater pipe that runs through the tensioner assembly. Mechanic obviously didnt want to use a new o ring when replacing the idler tensioner assembly last week. lol
