C70 Coolant leak

MJHBUS · Sep 2nd, 2013, 09:36

I have been loosing some coolant and today noticed a steady drip from the righhand side around the front of the tyre so clearly not the radiator. I will check hoses but has anyone come across simialr?
Sorry but I am a novice at this but need to get the car relaibly on the road without loosing coolant.

Are you 100% the drip by the front right tyre is coolant? This could just be your aircon condensation.

Sounds like it could be water pump or a cracked expansion bottle.

Check the hoses going to the expansion tank especially the ne under the tank (it simply lifts off its attachment bracket, the hose clip might need tightening, also check the other end of the hose which connects to the metal coolant pipe running across the rear of the engine - Mike
