When I got home I looked with a torch + the engine running and saw what looked like a needle going from the radiator to the engine, and I realised that was the coolant leaking out under pressure.
That sounds like a similar sort of area to mine, except mine seems to be squirting out to the front bumper/upwards. Will have to have a reaaaally close look for any needle like leaks.
Did you replace your radiator because of the hole? Or was it repairable and you got a radiator for another reason?
