Default Pin hole leak in radiator hose?



Nothing a bit of electrical tape will fix, right?

Will coolant leave permanent marks on my bonnet?

coolant will fuck stuff up, clean it off ASAP!

as far as tape goes... she'll be right!

Get some silcon hoses

dw SPOOLED, jk...

@Andy: Well i noticed a bit of coolant after i had washed it about 4pm yesterday, obviously it hadnt burst then. But it wasnt enough coolant to get worried, i just topped up the coolant and i didnt notice anything unusual.

I had it idling in the driveway for about 10mins while was waiting for my gf. Then about 1k from my house the temp started creeping and i turned around and drove slowley home... it just started missing as i was pulling in the driveway.

When i got out of the car i noticed all the coolant all over the bonnet. :/
