Hi Guys,
I noticed a rather large puddle under my car today after it had been parked for a couple of hours. It was clear but greasy. Was wondering if it was a coolant leak?

Cheers.

Well yes it does seem to goe empty. But it's been doing that for ages without it visibly leaking so....

Could well be. But there prolly wouldn't be any left in it by now if it was. ooking by the two puddles over the last couple of days it's robably about a litre that's leaked.

Think I've answered my own question here Rolling Eyes

Will ghave a closer inspection of the leak tomorrow (weather permitting) and let you know.
