Hi Guys,

I Noticed a small waer/coolant leak on my 2002 2.2 omega after the temp ran to 100 and the light came on...

would this be the rad??

it's situated around the rad/battery/ nearside headlight area of car

i will upload a picture later on if i can but it's not fantastic...

Sorry for the short description but i'm new to the omegas!!!

Could be radiator, radiator drain tap, or top hose.

Hi And welcome   I would investigate why the temp went up to 100, maybe the fans are faulty?

Leak could also be coming from the washer bottle that is located behind the front bumper.  Is your coolant header tank at the right level and staying there?

Hi guys and thanks for the quick reply...

I decided to get the AA out and have a good look over the car.... There report was possibly the radiator had gone.... They offered a pressure test or they would take it to a local garage for me as the breakdown repair (parts and labour paid by them upto £500) that I have with them would not come into effect for 14 days as it's a new car to the policy....

I took it to the local garage who pressure tested it twice as there was false readings..

The garages report was the head had gone.... Bang goes £600 from bank account....

Luckily the person I purchased it from on Monday is willing to give me a FULL refund and take the vehicle away and aucion it locally....

A greatshame as I fell in love with the vehicle...

Oh well back to square one and searching again......

Once again THANKS for all your help an quick responses and I would definately recommend this forum o anyone with an omega....

Hopefully I can get another omega butbif not it will b a vectra...
 

I took the option of towing to a local garage
