Last week my car started leaking coolant luckily very close to home, I could see it dripping fast from the front of the block near the water pump.
I took the radiator out today thinking it will simply be a gasket or the pump itself but once I got my head in there the thermostat gasket was clean no signs of crusty coolant crap on the gasket.
It had FA coolant left in it (~1L) and has leaked from being 3 inches down on the reservoir to bext to nothing of 7 days of sitting in the driveway so why I cant see it is confusing me.
Could it be leaking from a welch plug also?
I did notice coolant in a cavity on the front of the block I will try and load a picture off my phone shortly. If you put your hand thru the drive belt and piut your hand behind the pump it is wet to touch but how could nearly all the coolant drain from there its too high?
Any advice other than "use search you wanker" would be greatly appreciated.
