COOLANT LEAK - MK1 TUSCAN

[gkronberg]

COOLANT leak ...
notice some small drops of coolant under the car after a run.
around under the motor, middle to slight drivers side . you can see coolant on the front sway bar when you look under. after another run , its more than a few drops .
been pushing my phone camera down around the block to see whats happening. have not been able to get it up on a hoist as yet . cannot determine where its coming from . was hoping the brains trust here can provide some tips so I can prep to attack a fix . note , running well in warm weather here, just been doing 200ml top ups of coolant now and then ... fingers crossed its a simple fix ..thanks in advance ..( note its not from the front / radiator or the oil warmer thingy on the front left )

Be worth checking all hose clips are tight.

On my old 2002 Mk1, the cast Aluminium thermostat housing had gone porous and started to weep...worth running your fingers around it to see if its wet when cold. Could be any number of things though...needs a good eyeballing

May be easiest to take the air box out and then you can see the hoses, coolant sensors etc on that side of the engine easier than from underneath.
