Guest awesome Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hello, if you have topped up your water recently, make sure to open all heater vents inside and put your heaters on full with the radiater cap still off, and let it run for a few mins ... this will get out any air bubbles which will help to reduce pressure on any water pipes, then rev it up a bit and just look all around for the leek ... pipes do go, usually small holes and careful inspection should show something, like mine i had a very fine jet of water that evaperated due to the heat, so you need to see for yourself where it is while the engine is running, but make sure it has warmed up first, good luck.

lee060 3 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 possibly the stat housing , tends to be a common one . have a gander and see if you can see any dried up collant or any wet'ness round there or the rest of the engine for that case .liam Link to post Share on other sites
