So there is dried coolant on the side of the engine where the alternator belt is. But a coolant pipe with a new hose clip on it. | |

Missed the bit where he said it'd been topped up a month ago :look: Leaky hose joint is the second diagnosis - take a look at the hose joints, especially around the radiator; You'll be able to see crusty dried coolant around where it's leaking. It could be the radiator that's failed too, though whenever I've had one go it's been a fairly short and sharp affair with the car pissing the contents of it's coolant system out in a matter of minutes. | |

Spent a few weeks helping a friend through a Corsa C water leak, we ended up finding leaks in multiple places :lol: | |

Shouldn't really lose any water. Meant to be sealed system. | |

I'd say that she's forgotten to keep it topped up and it needs more coolant. Case closed. | |

I'd sway more towards a leak, if it was head gasket and was using water to the point where it had lost that much water (full header tank worth) is expect to have more symptoms, white smoke misfire poor running etc | |

Just thought I'd check the passenger footwell. As dry as a nuns. | |

So went to top the Mrs Corsa C 1.2 Twinport up with windscreen wash and notice not a lot of water in the header tank. Opened it up, there was no pressure at all, and could barely see the water in the bottom. |
