Paula Posted August 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 After a drive to Sainsbury’s (about 2 miles) Feargal decided to sick up 1ltr of coolant in the car park. I drove home with him overheating slightly and let him cool off. I’ve topped him up and run him up (and beyond a bit) temperature and it all looks fine. The only wetness I can see is at The base of the radiator but that soon dried up and he’s all happy. has the bottom drain plug got a pressure release valve on it? anything I should worry about?

Pete Lewis Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 the plug or tap is just a simple plug or a tap if the leak was from there it may need a look see as to whats going on after a refill its worth releasing the highest heater hose to let any air escape with the engine running dont pull it right off just enoughe to induce a leak or a fizz of trapped air thermostats dont like to be overheated if it tried to boil i would think about a replacement sometime an 82c must have a bleed hole /jiggle pin in its rim againr to let air escape when the stat is shut do check the seal on the rad cap is not all swollen or cracked Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted August 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Cheers. I just went for a drive. Everything’s fine. I’ll order a new rad cap and thermostat just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Where did the coolant come from Paula? Presumably the bottle filled and overflowed so did you see a high temperature indication or did it happen after stopping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Are you sure it was your car and not there already 🤔 Now you have been out again and not had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted August 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Yes, it was wet under the radiator when I got back home. Also it was 1ltr low. it was red too. i was convinced it was the radiator, but it just dried up and that was that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 red coolant ????? what antifreeze are you using OAT is pink and should not be mixed in sysytems that previously had Glycol ( Blue) there are glycol based REDs from Comma and others so hopefully you have one of those i wonder if some clown has upped the bonnet and given you a spill to worry about ??? the jiggle pin is just visible on this JP pic but a 3mm hole drilled in the rim will also work without an air bleed the stat will air lock til it starts to open many dont have this important little thingy Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
