Hi everyone done a drive today first time I've noticed it done a 15 min drive turned it off and noticed a shitload of green coolant i had a look around and couldn't see anything wrong with the radiator. I blew in my coolant bottle hose from the radiator and more green coolant come out.. anyone had this problem. Passenger side of the engine bay

So the coolant has come for the overflow/expansion tank under the drivers side guard in front of the wheel? My first though would be the radiator cap is failing and maintaining the correct pressure. Notice any odd boiling noises?

Is the coolant reservoir yellow and old? Might have a small crack?

My bad. I did mean passenger side guard, the drinkers side.
