[QUOTE="jarance, post: 382217, member: 21"] Yesterday, did an inspection of the cooling water as I am still experiencing loss of coolant after 1 week I have replaced the radiator and top hose. Start the engine after removing the bottom plastic cover.. check everywhere but no sign of water leak. Run the engine idle for about 10 minute and still no sign of leak. Stop the engine and after 1 minute, there was some water droplet near the right side of the radiator. check further and found the source was from the expansion tank.. Went to BA spare part shop and got a expansion tank for RM200 and coolant (ori) 1.5l for RM32 per bottle. Took me about half an hour (DIY) to change the expansion tank. Now still monitoring for leak. Hopefully, the problem could be solved. [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Just curious to know why it ONLY start to leak at the expansion tank after the engine is stopped!!![/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
