Coolant loss - steam
« on: 28 February 2008, 20:43:03 »
I'm losing coolant, not much and noticed steam coming out from under the bonnet. On inspection it appears to be coming from the left side of the engine (when looking from the front of the car), but damned if I can see exactly where its coming from! Any ideas?...
