Hi all,
Spoke to my Dad earlier who has a 2.2 CD Auto Petrol Facelift on a Y Plate and he mentioned he has noticed a damp bit on the drive in the passenger side in front of wheel - He is having to top up Level every now and then. Not excessive, but nevertheless there is clearly a leak.
I recall a small radiator drain valve on the bottom corner there - Can they weep ? and if so can you get replacement ? (I recall they have a couple of O rings ?)
Are there any other areas to watch out for on the Desmond for coolant leaks in that area ?
I shall be paying a visit to him in a few weeks time, but If I need any bits then I'll take them with me :y
Any experience ?
Thanks in advance.
Andy.

Has the drive got a slope?
Just thinking it could HBV, dripping on the sump cover and running forward and to the left :-\

Same as V6 for culprits...
Yes drain plug can weep as washer corrodes. More likely coming from further up the end of the rad... Seams go brittle over time...
Remove the cover trim and it should be clearer :y

Drain valve O ring or there is a crack in the plastic top of the rad pass side, got a 2.2 auto breaker in at the mo if you need any bit's
