A dripping leak from the front :-(

[Charlie9137]

I have discovered a leak at the front of my mini... I have managed to check the fluid levels and it would appear that the coolant is leaking. Is this going to be a massively expensive job of something straightforward?? Totally fed up as had plans for the next couple of days!

Probably the radiator, they can leak from the lower front corners after a few years especially on earlier Mini's. Rads vary from around £100-£200+ depending on whether aftermarket or a genuine BMW part..... plus labour, vat, etc, unless you are into diy mechanics.

Or if could be a leaking hose which would work out cheaper........don't run the car with low coolant or you could blow the head gasket which is very expensive!!
