dcbr Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) As above.. Every time I drive harshly for a while when I stop I realise that water has leaked/squirted from my overflow bottle and leaks out onto my bumper and wing.There's no change in performance or anything but since I bought my car this has been happening and its left me confusedCan it be the lid of the bottle?Anyone have any idea why this is happening? And how I can stop it? Thanks in advance Edited January 5, 2016 by dcbr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Rad cap might have had it just be safe and change it, if not you could actually be over heating so might be worth swapping out to a fresh alloy radiator Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Rad cap is a possibility, or headgasket.Can get the coolant sniff tested if not sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing it's this then. Gonna invest in a civic rad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Had the same symptoms bottle was pressurising and leaking water out of the over flow when driven it turned out to be head gasket my advice would be to do a sniffer test first before changing anything.
