binliner 0 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 It could also be the water pump (mine went recently) check under that side of the car and feel inside the plastic cover that protects the lower part of the belt, coolant drips and catches in there Link to post Share on other sites
MAHOSTRIDERDG 0 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I know this sounds stupid but have a real good look at your rad..my VR6 was losing water and i couldnt find a leak anywhere....After days of looking I found a small stone dent in the rad up behind a bumper plastic..(how a stone buried itself in there i dont know)....I only found it by spotting a drop or 2 of coolant in a dry under ground car park after da cinema one nite recently...

Timah89 1 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Had same problem too and fixed with Wynns equivalent of Radweld - worked fine then water pump failed [bearings shot and no vanes] When fitted new one better flow blew rad so had to fit new one from GSF - 2hrs work. Now perfect. Also thermo housing is prone to cracking. You can usually tell where leak is coming from as dried antifreeze leaves tell tale white splashes Link to post Share on other sites
