OK having sorted out my leaking radiator cap issue I've finally looked into a leak that has been bothering me for a while.
Had a look under the car and noticed fluid leaking from the front of my trans. I thought it was oil, but I cleaned it up and ran the car to make it leak again and discovered that its coolant!
Where the hell is this coming from?
Background:
I have disconnected the heater, so not that.
I don't run the air con, so not condensation from there, plus its green not clear...
I have just replaced radiator, hoses and thermostat. (and none appear to be leaking although I'll triple check)
When warmed up, the system appears to pressurise ok.
I'm thinking but hoping its not a leaking welch plug.
Could also be the heater pipe? the one that comes out the thermostat housing? although it drips off the back not the front so I dunno about that one.
What else could is possibly be?
