Hi all, as some may have followed I have a coolant leak on my new Corsa C.
I have lost a few CM over 2-3days, I know for certain when I flex the breather on the top of the coolant tank while the engine is hot that some steam comes out because I can hear the hiss.
Is it safe to say this will be slowing leaking steam while the car is been driven?
The breather itself has been taped at the end and has a jubilee clip on the breather rarther then the traditional breather clip and looks brand new so can assume it has been recently done.
My questions are as followings;
Can I cut off the end of the breather and reapply juiblee clip, or a propper breather clip to stop the leak?
Are there any other things I can do to find out where I am losing coolant?
- I did have the car tested for contaminants in the coolant and garage advised nothing came up and definatly nothing wrong with HG.
I have circled where on the below image;
