if the leak is at the back in the right hand side pull the covers off, it might be leaking from the aux water pump.... 2lt in one drive i doubt its the headgasket good luck buddy

It's difficult to see tbh as it appears to be dropping at the back of the engine and then dispersing. Someone said to me it could be a leak around the manifold but I'm not sure.

It could be your head gasket weaping, not a lot of coolant hoses on the back of the engine.

With the amount of I'm losing it would be more of a full on emotional breakdown then a weep!

Might be worth getting you system pressure tested as a first step.

That's what I'm hoping to do. What does a pressure test cost these days?

Off to get the head and stuff pressure tested on Tuesday so that should give me more of an idea.

not sure if this will help but check the thermastat,its got blank plugs,the rubber seals corrode and leaks coolant.just wiggle it while she's running and go from there,hope you get it sorted dude.
