Hi Phil
Thanks for looking after Deb
Phil,I dont want to alarm you,and the original poster,but closely monitor the pressure in your coolant hoses,if that top hose is at bursting pressure under full working temp,its possible head issues are on the way,BEEN THERE DONE THAT
Keep a close eye,it could be the warning you need to get it early.I picked mine up by the odd wiff of coolant smell that wasnt normally there,IT WASNT USING COOLANT.
GOODLUCK
Andrew

"And considering the total number of leaks reported on this site equals <3 I'd say its nothing to worry about..."

It happened to mine and my investigations at the time suggested that it was pretty common.

I have also traced a water leak to my fuel cooler and have removed it for inspection. On disassembly there are 2 'o' rings, one at either end. These are rather large and I am now hoping to source some.

Has anyone done this or know what 'O' rings to get?

Yep my fuel cooler was leaking for about 12 months before I got" Davis performance "to put on another reco one. For only $ 110. fitted I thought it was a bargain.
I took a while to get it fixed because it only leaked when we had a frost and it was only a cup full at a time. So I kept an eye on the coolant levels and had it replaced when I did the major service and changed all fluids.
By this time it leaked every night, but not under pressure, and it was loosing a lot more fluid each time.
There were other issues with the motor at the same time but thats another story and not related.

I just got some BS225 Viton O-Rings as suggested earlier in the thread. I haven't fitted them yet, the night's arn't so cool at the moment and it has stopped leaking. I will be changing all coolant hases and coolant soon, so will do them then.
