Clean it all off as it may just be from the previous leak. | |

Just been to the garage to have the coolant bottle changed as it had a massive crack init, i opened the bonnet when I got home to find steam coming from the back of the engine there is a lot of water around one of the inlet nuts, could it be the inlet manifold gasket or just steam coming from the head gasket cheers. | |

If it's dumping it that quick, is it not coming out the exhaust in plumes of smoke? | |

Ive read on a few site off google that it could be the water pump, ive just had a new cambelt and water pump about 1000miles ago, could that be the problem. | |
