Is it automatic? If so, keep an eye on your fluid level - if it rises for no apparent reason the chances are the radiator needs replacing.

If this is the case, do it ASAP as the water won't do your box any favours!

Other than that, all usual suspects apply, hoses, expansion tank cap, water pump etc.

I had a 740 once that sprouted a pinhole leak in the radiator top hose - sprayed all over the fan which then showered the plugs and dizzy cap causing a very odd misfire.
Every time i stopped to lift the bonnet and check for broken/loose HT leads, the leak stopped (engine off) so the very fine mist dried before i got the bonnet up.
It was such a small leak that the coolant only dropped very slightly and wasn't noticed.
