Leaking Rad :(

[Jamessti]

When I was driving the car I notice a burn smell, a bit like burn chemicals. Check the car all over can't see any thing. Today I notice a small puddle under the rad on the o/s of the car. All the pipes are dry to the touch, so its gotta be the rad.

See one on flea bay for 100 notes from Scooby Bits, are these any good or is there a better place it one from?

Also how does it take to fit. Will either ask Deano or Kent performance to do it?

It might be worth doing a cooling system pressure check first, just to make sure that it is leaking from the rad. It could be coming from any of the coolant hoses down there.

As for fitting, it's not a long job by any means.

I think I may of fix it. My colleague noticed that the drain plug was wet and also not vertical. So far no more leaks, after i'd tightened it up, fingers crossed.

Well the leak is back not new drain plug order from Subaru.. for £14 but I don't think it is that

But the good news is that RCM do a rad for 167 inc. VAT

better than Subaru £300 for one

I am sure tho' it is not the pipe no signs of leaks around then
