Hi guys,
A few days ago after a 10 minute drive I noticed a trail of water after parking. The liquid was being forced out of the coolant reservoir under pressure. When the engine had cooled I opened the reservoir and it was empty.
I called the NRMA (NSW roadside assistance). The guy that came refilled the reservoir with water & checked that the fan was cutting in after the engine warmed up. He said it could be the fan's temperature sensor on it's way out - though it was working when he checked. If the fan doesn't cut in the coolant (or water) evaporates quickly.
I told my wife to keep an eye on the temperature gauge when she drove to and from work (20 minutes each way). She said it was normal (a little under halfway). I thought I'd check it anyway and the reservoir is empty again.
Does anybody have any other theories on the cause.
Thanks
