[QUOTE="azan23uk, post: 746638, member: 8654"] Hi All, Been a while. Thanks to all sifus here for the tips and advise. Found the issue...it was a leak at the hose behind the water pump area. You cannot see this hose unless you remove the throttle body as it is actually underneath it. This hose channels hot coolant into the heater core unit in the cabin for heating purpose. Usually, this system is blanked off on our tropical car. The hose is a hard plastic pipe connected to the engine block/cylinder head. Now no more coolant loss..so the worry about blown head gasket is gone. Phewww.... [/QUOTE]
