[QUOTE="5201, post: 128916, member: 544"] Get to a workshop soonest possible, and ask them to do a water pressure test. Procedure as such: Let the engine cool, then remove the radiator cap. Make sure the radiator is filled to the brim with water (including the bleeding nut area). Then they will take a contraption, like a bicycle tyre pump with a pressure gauge attached, and screw it onto the top of the radiator. Pump away till the pressure builds up, and look out for leaks. Possible culprits. Hose cracked, hose connectors loose, aircon heater leaking (like in my case), water pumps.... or worse case, cracked head gasket!!! Get it checked soonest possible..... before it gets more expensive. [/QUOTE]
