I just noticed my radiator was p*ssing water out of it when I parked up.

Waited for it to cool down, opened cap, level was inbetween min and max. Filled with water up to max.

Turned on car, let it heat up to temp.

When I turned it off again, it p*ssed water out again!

But it only goes down a bit to inbetween min and max then stops leaking.

Hmm

Anyone?

How do you mean with p*ssing out water?, true the overflow pipe?

Not sure where from, but a heavy dripping from the drivers side underneath where the radiator is, there was a puddle by the time it had finished.

At the bottom though not the top where you put the coolant in.

Had it sorted.

Turned out just needed a new rad cap.

Seal was broken on the old one and water was pouring out of the overflow pipe LOL
