Morning all,
I've just had it MOTd this morning and it's gone through without any advisories. However, it is losing coolant and when I looked under the bonnet yesterday, I noted a small amount of oil to the front right of the engine. I've also noticed that after relatively short runs (my office is 10 miles on mostly 50/60mph roads) that the cooling fan is blasting away - it's no more than 15 mins to drive.
Having hunted around I'm wondering if both might be linked to the oil cooler which sits in the middle of the V.
If this damned rain ever stops, I'm going to pull the top off the engine to see if I can spot any leaks - one youtube video I saw the V was full of oil from the cooler!
Any ideas?
James
