So the saga continues. Clamps sourced and fitted and that's stopped that hose leak. But I still have a slight weep - like a tablespoon over the past week (I haven't used the car). It's very hard to spot where this is coming from.... it looks at the moment that it could be a weep from where the matrix meets the side tank, but I am not yet sure (bearing in mind coolant went everywhere when i refitted the hose). I have dried it off and will keep looking.
So I have some options:
- put back the plastic one (this was pre-emptive maintenance which is always a risk)
- stick in some barrs leaks - but I am concerned about what that does for the engine and indeed the longevity of it as a solution
- bite the bullet, spend more cash and get a sifab or mulfab one
- see if I can get this one fixed by a specialist.
Decisions, decisions. Any thoughts?
