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.

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
