mowgli123 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Right guys I have another problem yet again... Was driving and put my foot down for abit.. Stopped and saw some sort of brown watery type of leak under the car. I though it was coming from near the exhaust between engine and gearbox. Or could it be coolant?? It was on my gearbox where the gear linkage is so might have flicked up. Anyone had a problem like this? Cheers Quote
Weyro Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 might be coolant, mine is a reddish brown colour, your thermostat and stuff is up above the gearbox so might be from there Quote
TurboTobz Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 A pretty decent way to see if it's coolant is touching it then tasting your finger, if it is it'll be sweet tasting, don't drink it though lol.Feel it is it thick and slippery like oil? Quote
TurboTobz Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I use coolan in my tea when I run out of sugar lol Just kiddingggg Quote
mowgli123 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Lool hahaha.. by the way @ turbotobz - You've commented and helped me in nearly every problem i'Vve had with my glanza.. And I want to thank you I think it is coolant .. Loose pipe? Quote
daniel_g Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Feed it to a cat, if it dies then its coolant. Its cool to taste car stuff, try a wee bit brake fluid on your tongue. Tingle tingle. Seriously though, as said your thermo housing and other water pipes run just above the gearbox. Quote

daniel_g Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Check the clamps on the pipes for tightness. Thermostat O ring seal, might have failed also. Quote

I'll always help where I can!And Daniel, I don't like brake fluid as much it kinda burns and tastes gank! Petrols pretty strange too aha Quote
rob_bower Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I've seen a couple of 4e's where the coolant pipe from the pump that runs across the back of the block has split bit it's hard to see it just keep that in mind. Quote
