Hi all,
For the past month or so, randomly, the tank will empty its entire coolant on to the floor so when I get in I get the big red warning. I keep spare coolant in the boot because of this and fill up when needed. It happens mainly when parked on a slight gradient (up or down doesn't matter). Tired of it I took it to a friend of mine that runs a reputable garage for him to work on it. So far he's jacked it up at the back, it hasn't leaked. Jacked it up at the front, it hasn't leaked. Put dye in to find a snail trail...no leak. Pressure tested it, no leak.
He's unable to make it leak but I know when I collect it, it's gonna do it eventually. Could be an hour, could be a couple of days.
Anyone got any advice on what to do, where to look or any way to make it leak? Is it less likely to leak when its cold and needs the engine running for a bit?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as it's driving me wild and costing me a chunk in coolant.
Thanks
