V70: - Losing coolant - Page 2

Oddly enough, it's the driver's side floor that's a bit damp. I'm just glad it's not the HG or something more serious. I put some Redweld in, so hopefully that fixes it.

Can’t source the leak😩

Checked the expansion tank and the top thermostat breather hose?

Simple things first - it could be worthwhile investing in a new coolant reservoir cap.

Thanks guys.
Expansion tank and top of thermostat are fine.
Coolant reservoir cap replaced as well.
I think the only option left is taking the car in for water pressure test.

Hej Jeremy,

the coolant reservoir itself is a hot candidate as it is known for getting a leak at the bottom connecting piece.

Hej hej Gernot

This is presumably a LHD car (USA). Might that make a difference?

Regards. John.
