Identifying leaking coolant hoses

Post by Bonnie » Sat Apr 09, 2011 9:49 am

Hello again,

I have recently noticed a small amount of coolant on the ground leaking from the system when I move my bongo from a parking space. The level in the header tank is not moving noticeably yet but I would like to sort the leak before I have a major problem. Are there any tricks to finding these leaks or should I take her to a garage?


Thanks Bonnie

just a thought have you had the air con on as that will leave a puddle underneath?

Yep.... just what I was thinking. Where under the bongo is the little puddle?

Thanks, I will check again exactly where the puddle is and if it only happens when I've been running the AC.
