Have you checked they operate correctly and are not blocked ?

That is really a two person job, particularly to replace the bumper, to ensure that the paintwork doesn't get scratched or cracked if you flex the plastic too much.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I spotted a small mark on the driveway today under the drivers side front arch, after looking under the the car to see what it was i found that there was a slight leak but couldnt work out where it was coming from it seems to be very slight at the minute. Anyone else had this problem? thanks.
I think if the coolant was leaking that much it would be visibly noticeable in the reservoir in the rear. Have you checked?
Mine went in for a service last week and I was told that the radiator was 'weeping'. I have not noticed anything on the garage floor, but a weeks worth of driving (200 miles) equates to about 1cm drop in the reservoir currently. It is approximatley 30mm between the min and max marks on the bottle. I put a pen mark on the bottle when the engine was cold and now check it on a weekly basis when I wash the car. If it is low then I just top it up with tap water, which the OPC technician said was OK because of the current concentration levels.
no i havent checked the levels yet but i will mark the level and keep an eye on it, if it is the radiator on its way out how big is the job to change it? can you do it yourself?
Leaks
Had similar issue, I also suspected radiator probs.
In actual fact it was my headlamp washer jet. The jet is blocked and the leak was the back pressure from the pump surge whilst trying to operate the washer system. Have you checked they operate correctly and are not blocked ?
I've just had the drivers side rad replaced on mine.. there was a faint whiff of coolant (particularly when in standing traffic). My view was that it is probably better to get it replaced before (if) we get any warm weather over the summer.
I was quoted £750 at my OPC!!! I am sure others will be along to say that it can be done much cheaper at an independent. I think it is possible to do it yourself, but I think you need to be confident at DIY. I think the biggest job is getting the front bumper off, but there is a thread on here at the moment with a video clip of how to do that. That is really a two person job, particularly to replace the bumper, to ensure that the paintwork doesn't get scratched or cracked if you flex the plastic too much.
