    So ive just pulled over, left the engine on. Ran inside the store to buy the paper. I come back out and i see that on the "left hand" passenger side there is red water leaking out. Obviously its my coolant. But was wondering why it is doing this.
    • Btw i was driving for over an hour and 30mins.

    Would anyone have a clue on what is wrong/if anything is wrong??
    Thank you in advance

    Could be a failed coolant cap allowing all the coolant to pump out into the over flow bottle on the passenger side which then overflows. Pull the yellow dipstick out of the overflow bottle and if its way overfull you need to replace the black coolant cap.
