There a how to on here some where mate guide you through it step by step...

When u can see the valve top up the coolant then run the engine and see where the water is comming from..

Will have to check the how too, as I can't see a bl**dy thing at the back, and theres even more coolant on the deck outside now, and the expansion tank is almost empty.

On the 2.0 4 pot it also has a HBV it on the drivers side but if your getting it from around the header tank check yours is not split they can split check this first before you check your HBV as you can see water dripping from the bottom back part of the engine if its the HBV

My guess is its that valve or a hose near it.. once that panel is removed u get alot more view..

If u pop the 2 wiper arm caps off and undo the 13mm nut both arms come off, then there a small torx screw in the top right hand corner remove that then gently work the whole panel out..
Once this is removed you get a lot more room round the back of the v6 lump...

Check our HBV too mate much easier on a 4 pot.

Defo; not the header tank, no water any place near that, no splits/cracks either. Looks like i'm off to take the scuttle off, just aswell i bought that Halfords tool kit .........This should be fun

i too have coolant leak on 2.0 16v 1996 loses about 1-2 lts of coolant after 5-10 miles or so with bonnet closed steam seems to be coming from the drivers side front where expansion bottle sits,when releasing the cap seems to be a lot of pressure no sludge or mayo on engine filler cap or dipstick  :-?

Also found this below the driver side scuttle in bits not connected, think is must be an alarm not mine
