MY Zx has nothing wrong with it at all !!! ?I said.
But monday morning I got in my car to go to work and there was a trickle of coolant in the passange foot well (not bad but enough to notice)I quickly got my car round to my cousin whos a machnic. he sent me to a place to get to get some stuff to stick in the RAD to stop the leak , its called Leak Stopper, it seems to of worked i have no leak from what i can tell now.
But I may still get the matrix changed as a safe procution. I don't like these add in things. but I do recommmend it as a temp solution.

If I were you I'd flush the cooling system thoroughly after you've changed the matrix.
Leak stoppers are notorious for causing clogged cooling systems e.g. matrices / radiators etc.

I agree with that one, the previous owner of the demon BX tried to cure a leaking head gasket with r*dweld or similar, my heater just barely gets warm enough even though theres nothing wrong with the rest of the system, not looking forward to changing the partially blocked matrix.
