Coolant should leave a crystal-like deposit where ever it leaks, have you had a good look around the engine bay for anything like that?

Thermastat housing most common prob on the VR check first! it can be realy hard to spot it too! right at the front of the block bout half way down or so!

[forsh]

its from the engine bay somewhere i think its the thermo housing to be honest ,but ill check it maybe later today and keep you posted on the progress

thanks all

1 tthing i remember doing about a year ago was take the pipes off the rad and drain all the sh!t out,the last owner mixed blue and pink coolant to make a nasty brown colour

ever since i changed back to pink g11 coolant its stayed pink

keep you posted
