[Feeble]

Was out in the car earlier, for about an hour, and when I got home and reversed the car into the garage I saw that I've got an antifreeze leak!

Had a good look around the top of the engine, and can see no sign of a leak... Look under the car, and there's loads of the stuff dripping from the sump guard! I'm gonna put the car on ramps tomorrow evening, but anyone know of any common places for antifreeze to leak from?

Thanks in advance!

could be a burst rad or a perrished hose at the bottom, best thing to do is inspect it in the daytime.

i'm not an engine expert but if a leak suddenly appears, it's usually one of the pipes or the water pump.

water pump failure usually flicks water all over the place though!

Bypass hose?
