Hi
I've got a 2005 R50, with air-con, and since I've bought it I forever seem to have a coolant leak...
Replaced thermostat housing + gasket, and pressure cap, also expansion tank for good measure, still leaking.
So got a new radiator, and that seemed to settle things, but after 6 - 8 months that started leaking, returned to company and they confirmed it was leaking and sent a replacement under warranty. I never found out exactly where it was leaking from though.
Now my current radiator is seemingly leaking, there is coolant on the lip of the front bumper cover on the bottom nearside corner.
I have read it's a common fault for the radiator to leak in the bottom corner, but surely not on one that's less than a year old?!
So my question is does anyone know what causes the common leak?
Or is there anything else to check for leaks that would make coolant pool on the nearside corner?
Thanks.
