Changed the rocker cover on my 1993 mini sprite today, no oil leaks etc when I started it up after. Left it off for an hour or two, then started it again. Drove it for a short while and realised that I was losing a lot of coolant, so shut it off immediately. I'm not sure where to start now, looks like it is dripping from the bottom of the radiator. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, wyatt

Check for split bottom hose at bottom of rad and then work up. Coolant can leave tell tale signs

Think you kind of answered your own question..

Bottom of the radiator would be a good place to start checking.
