General Small coolant leak

[tonictone]

Hi, I have a very small coolant leak from the car. If left overnight there is a small puddle about the size of a 50p coin. It,s definately coolant as its pink with the antifreeze. The drip is directly below the lowest part of the engine on the flywheel/gearbox side not from the waterpump side. can't seem to see anything problems from the pipes that side or where it maybe coming from? Has anyone any ideas where it maybe comming from. I have to top it up with about 300ml's every couple of weeks so not a big leak. Thanks.

Thermostat is only thing above that. or where temperature sensor meets the block just behind it

Ask a local garage to do a pressure coolant test on your water system with an aim to finding the leak

or make your own

thanks for that I'll take a look this weekend, could it also becoming from the bleed screw on the heater hose? are they prone to leaking.

If its coming from the bleed screw its a simple tighten up job

But i'd suspect it isn't that

I wonder if its possible to make a similar contraption from a car tyre valve to make a little air duster?
