Mystery coolant loss - big puddle on drive
Evening all, hopefully a member might be able to shed some light on a coolant issue I have been having.
The coolant level on the Volvo has been up and down over the past few months.
A few times this year the coolant light has popped up. I have topped the car up but checking under the car for leaks I never found anything that would indicate a leak and nothing on the drive. Was initially concerned it was the HG - and was going to do a test.
Coolant light popped again last night, and this morning there is a big puddle on the drive.
Sliding under the car it appears that the leak is coming from the front of the engine block. So I am suspecting thermostat housing (gasket or crack in housing) or rad top hose (holed / split).
I am just going to start yanking parts, but to help me along can any members advise if the there is anything else coolant related that runs under the inlet manifold which might be of sight, but is know to fail?
Just trying to create a short list before I start yanking parts off the car and dont want to make work for myself!
Cheers
James
