    HI Guys

    Advice needed please.Saturday new rad went in no problems have driven 74 miles on motorway and side roads no leaks.Tonight pulled up coolant coming out by the bottom hose (the small bridging hose that goes on the pipe)went back to the garage to get it sorted. Nothing not a drip only the over flow bottle was empty topped it up fine now.Never seen anything like this before .Checked again when cold and its ok.Just a bit paranoid or is it typical of these ace vehicles.Any advice would be appreciated many thanks.

    Maybe the hose clips weren't tight enough, or the heat has sealed the leak?

        Must admit where I have had cause to take any hoses off I replace the spring clips with jubilee clips as have problems with spring clips not selaing it correctly afterwards.

        Also check level under rad cap, expansion bottle only holds a couple of inches of coolant anyway.
        Say not always what you know, but always know what you say.
