Hello everyone, and urgent help needed please :-)

Yes this does sound like it's right up NRG's street but it does sound you have sprung a few leaks...you need to use exactly the right(good quality) rad caps as well or you could run into more problems.

[N.r.g]

When you say dripping from sump I'm guessing it's front of engine. If so need to look at bottom of water pump behind fan.
Don't put cold water in it when it's hot or you'll crack the head.

[N.r.g]

Don't drive it either . Not worth the risk.

I'm pretty sure it's from the front by fan will try and push my hubby under to check but not sure what to look for, not very mechanically minded but willing to try lol

[cherryt]

Not confident on what's what, a bit out of our depth here.

[N.r.g]

Messaged you

Water pump does seem like a good diagnosis so hope you get it sorted out:-)

Turns out it was a leaky pipe above water pump. All looks good now I have cast my magic hands upon it.
Good luck guys n enjoy
Nice to meet you both n hope your happy .

Many thanks to NRG, he found a split hose in the most awkard of places, and we got a replacement, going to take her for a good run later

NRG - my hero!

Should now be smiles for miles
