    Coolant leak - grrrr!

    Went to a wedding today, and nipped back to get something from the car. Looked moist under the front, and dry everywhere else. Quick dab of the finger. The sweet tang on coolant. Arse an bugger. Something to diagnose next week.....

    Level seems fine in the rad, but dropped low in the header tank.
    Believed to be the only PFL Legnum parked on my drive unless you know otherwise.

    hmm.....it could just be finding it's level now that you've reconnected the tank. Whereabouts under the car was it?

    Weirdly like an even spread across the front axle. That said, it's probably sprayed onto something and then runn across the subframe.

    At least I can see it's going somewhere, so probably a hose or something external, rather than disappearing into a cylinder!

    mine occasionally vomits half the header tank when standing after a hard run and as it drops on the undertray spreads a bit but i am getting quite used to it really but it did make me think maybe the water pump had let go first time it did it.
