I think you need to pressurise the system, when cold if possible, and have a poke around. Take the plenum and intake manifold off, reconnect the two tubes to the TB, pressurise the system (tyre valve in an old reservoir cap) and see if you can see / hear / feel anything.

I have a spare cap. Several, actually (tractor use to eat them fro breakkie). But no valves. Or ability to stick valve in  :-[

Ask your local tyre fitters or bike shop for an old one. Then just drill a hole of the correct size. Might need to remove the relief valve gubbins and get it to seal properly, then pump it up to 1 bar and see what happens.

I know a certain Admin has one.  I wonder if he'll swap a cap for one already made up ;D

Hi,
Take care, and don't be tempted to go above 1 bar though, or you may well cause  damage to something really expensive, like a rad or heater matrix.

Even at 1 bar you double the normal pressure of a cooling system. Should be 7-9 psi.

Well, I've got a valve if you want me to lob it in the post to you?

 If you make up a cap I'd be interested in borrowing it when you're finished with it as I've got a very slow coolant leak myself (probably HBV).

if the coolant system is working correctly , the outside temp should have little to do with it.   The thermostat should control the engine temp to optimum which is around the level you mention.

anyway , this is someone elses thread, so I suggest you start a new one and describe the symptoms of your leak in detail :y
