Hi all,
Changed a front fog light on my xantia monday, when i jacked car up to remove front wheel for easier access to wheel arch liner and bumper bolts i noticed that some water leaked out from somewhere, pretty sure it was coolant, i reckon there was about a pint fell out from somewhere!! finished changing fog light, put front bumper back on etc, topped up coolant and there now appears to be no sign of a leak!!!
Couldn,t see any water dripping anywhere whilst doing the foglamp after the initial leak, and have been keeping an eye on coolant level since then, no signs of any more coolant loss!!
I am somewhat puzzled!!!
Ideas anyone???

Re: coolant leak
Steve,
Could it be coolant coming from the hose off the expansion tank

Re: coolant leak
Thanks for the replies chaps! will just have to keep an eye on it for now, it just seemed strange that leak disappeared just as quick as it appeared, dont think i had disturbed anything coz i,d only got as far as taking front wheel off when i noticed leak!!!
