Coolant Leak

Recommended Posts

First I will explain the scenario, I was out driving for about a hour on a nice sunny day about 72F. I came home parked my car in the garage, it sat for about 45 mins. I then decided to remove my ecu because I was gunna replace it with the red race ecu. Because I couldn't reach all the nuts I decided to remove my boot floor so I would have easier acess. This was my first time removing the boot, so not thinking too much I removed the hoses from the coolant tank thats bolted to the boot. A drop may have driped out from the hoses thats it, but I quickly learned that I didnt have to remove the hoses just loosen the nuts attaching it to the boot. After all was said and done I found a puddle by my feet of greenish coolant and it was leaking from the front right under the radiator. Anyone has any idea of what could have happened?

It could be just a hose clip that needs tightening up. There are a lot of hose joints! You could also check the security of the bleed valve.

If you're unlucky, the rad could be split.
