Coolant Leaking

[sarahfleming]

I have just discovered a pool of, what resembles water under my car. The coolant tank is nearly empty and there is a drip underneath. Does anyone know what is involved here to fix it, how is it caused and how much will it cost me to fix??

it might just be a rubber hose is perished which would be €5 plus some labour, so not much.

It could of course be anything else. Top it up and bring it somewhere. Don't drive with it dry.

What sort of car?

Open the bonnet get a torch and see can you find the source.

Maybe a rusty radiator Did mine with help of my old man on a passat tdi.

About 110 for a rad and coolant and about 2 hours with not all the right tools. Stilll working great 3 years on.
