Yet more cooling issues, getting beyond a joke.

I topped up my expansion tank this morning I'm hoping that it's just from water being spilled but given the track record of my car I am not confident.

I saw water dripping from the base of my engine after I got to work this morning. Will be checking it out, but it was behid the hoses.

What should I look for?

Will check oil for coolant and hoses tonight, what else could it be?

A lot of places...run the car and look for leaks, under the water pump, back of engine where valley pan would drain, all hoses, bottom of expansion tank(cracked tank on the bottom is common)

Best thing to do is to check were the leak comes from and take it from there
