Hi all,
So a few months back i remember seeing some coolant beneath the car after parking in the driveway and thought nothing of it.
Yesterday i was driving home from work and out of nowhere i get the high engine temperature warning, the temperature gauge had gone from 1/4 to right up the top, it dropped back down moments later.
When i got home and after the engine had cooled i checked the radiator - looked bone dry :S
Filled it up with water and drove in to work today, a fair bit of temperature fluctuation but not much beyond beyond half way ( no a/c)
Drove home with a/c on, and didnt go more than a touch above 1/4 again - seemed very normal.
Jumped under to have a look when i got home to see a trail of wetness down the front of the radiator, driver side. There was a faint hissing for about 60 seconds after turning off the car but that then stopped.
What do you guys make of this?
