Hi , Ā  Ā  I’ve just noticed I’m losing coolant on my corsa, Ā  No

Obvious leaks , Ā  Ā  I started with the easiest check which was with the coolant tank cap , Ā  The seals seemed fine bit the internal fitment wasn’t springing back and forward , Ā  Ā I was told it should , Ā  Ā  Ā Could that be the issue ? Ā  Ā  Ā  ThanksĀ

    If it were squeezed out from under the cover, I think there would be drips, then you need to check the entire system; from the description it is difficult to tell exactly where the leak might be.

    Hi, hope you have it sorted by now as this post if the 22nd of Feb.
    I'm working on my daughter's Astra J 2010.
    This was a Facebook market buy, not sure why she did that.
    Anyway, I found the Cap to be bad around 90c and would leak from there.
    This was due to overheating and also found the thermostat to be bad adding to the issue.
    This also included a small leak from the thermostat housing which only occurred at high temps.
    I hope this helps if you have not resolved this yet and I agree with (Speoccou), check your whole water system to be sure.
    All the best.
