No performance issues really, running like normal. No strange noises. I get white smoke on start up but always have done for last 4/5 years. Had camshaft replaced on car 50k mileage ago which is a common fault. Really have no idea.. Maybe there is an issue with the small pipe used by the garage to fix the coolant leak.. Hmmmm doubt it though they always been pretty good

Weird then

Where was the coolant leak from?? Rad? EGR cooler??  I assume the temp gauge sits at 90 when its warmed up

Have you had it scanned for fault codes??

Just saw your previous post about no codes

Temp sits normal, no fault codes

It wasn't from the radiator. It was coming from right in the middle, the mechanic showed me the small piece of black pipe, roughly 15cm long I would say, it had a split under the metal clip at the end. Sorry im not the most car literate
