Went out to prep the car this morning ready for a 2 week camping trip up north and noticed I've lost about a litre of coolant. Last month before another trip I had the rev counter not working so seem to only have issues when planning on heading off somewhere in the car!
Anyway, read through a few threads on here and and had a good look at the car. It's likely been leaking for a while and just haven't noticed till now - not getting any warning lights yet.
There's some fresh drops of coolant just below what I think is the after run pump(?). And when moving the connector (circled in the pic) I can see coolant around the seal.
There's some crystals elsewhere but looks like the main issue is that area where the after run pump is located.
Still a bit of noob but keen to get stuck in so some pointers on how to fix would be much appreciated!
Also, been reading up on what type of coolant to top up with. It currently has blue (G11?) so I'm guessing it's okay to use this stuff from motul listed as G11 spec? https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-904-mot...dy-to-use.aspx
