So the week after I fix the failed earth connector on the LHS rear light cluster. I notice pool of water under the engine - coolant.
Mrs Whippet informs me that she needs her car this week - well surprise surprise!!!
Anyway put car up on stands, remove the lower plastic engine tray, try to see up between engine and bulkhead. cannot see to locate source of dripping. Seems to be collecting and concentrating from above the pressed aluminum heat shields, but virtually impossible to get hands, arm up in there anyhow I try. Don't know how I am going to fix when I do locate the source!!!
So this morning I purchase a CAM INSPECTION BUDGET USB 7M FLEX | Installer | CCTV & Surveillance Monitors | CCTV & Surveillance | PRODUCTS | QC3374 | Jaycar Electronics mini USB camera. Beewdy! I will locate this leak easily, will also be useful for future use. Plug it into my laptop, run with supplied Webcam VideoCap software and comes up with an error. Same on two other laptops. Seems that I cant resolve this just at the moment. Error window: CamApp, Video Capture Tool, Time Version has stopped working.
Anyway has anyone experienced a coolant leak on these vehicles. As far as I can see it is originating from higher up the engine. It is dripping about 1 drop every 10 seconds - unpressurised. I suspect heater hoses, or connecting hoses. I have used a torch from above and below but see to cannot locate the source. I have got my arm in behind from above and can't feel anything wet. Really need my video camera operating!!!
