Well for ages ive been using water but have not seen one drop of a leak or the car been overheating
Well ive found a puddle of coolant under the right side as your looking at the front of the car under the battery box in the botoom of the engine cover

It looks like its coming from the radiator somehow the lower right hand side of it

Is it easy if it comes to it to remove the radiator

or

Is that covered under the 3rd year of my warrenty??

Many thanks for any replies
 
go to spares shop like motor world and try some bars leaks , get the bottle of it , if its not a bad leak it will most probably cure it and no need to go to garage or take out rad ya self , it costs about 4.50 and is good stuff used it on my old vectra
 
Quite sure it is under 3rd year warranty but check first as it varies,getting radiator out & in is easy but getting of the 'quick release' clips is a pig oh & do the clips first before undoing the lower paner retaining clips or it will drop down like a guillotine...you have been warned!

You dont know how much a new radiator is by any chance?
 
Mine is a 1.6 and had a new Rad just before I bought it on the reciept £120 :eek: I'v seen them on Fleabay recently for a lot less though and they are brand new (y)
 
UPDATE

Going in under warrenty They was moaning saying "never done a rad under warrenty before" SO i say "right let it leak till it over heats then i can ask for a new engine"

So they got a reply off fiat and there doing it under warrenty

But thats least of my prob at the moment as i need to get it there for friday but cant cos of the brakes (info here https://www.fiatforum.com/showthread.php?p=753404#post753404)
