I think this could be leaking from the heating system bit as it was a bit wet where the green arrows are pointing (look at attached image)


This has happened twice when I have had her parked similar to below...

It never happens when shes on the flat, and I have also parked her a few times looking downwards, but this has not happened then.

How she was parked:

The arrows are supose to be pointing to the edge of that black box...

Either the matrix or a dodgy pipe connecting it. Does it get worse when the engine is running??

Isn't everything in the matrix green ?? :P

but seriously....

Depends on the colour of your antifreeze... but may just be a leak from one of the pipes.

The only other option I can think of is to empty the system, remove the heater and give it a good flush through with a hose pipe, then with the hose pip connected, close of the exit. the Presure will soo show if there's a leak in the matrix.

I think its just that that little silvr clip i the picture may be loose, that hose was replaced by the garage when i first got my car and it hasnt been on a side slope yet.

I will tighten it, then put the ar on the slope again, running it with the heating fully on...


see what happens
