Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Driving around town the other day in scorching heat, I got this when I got home. Since the video, the leak has slowed down a lot, but that could be because the heat is less? Sometimes it's dripping around the cylinder head cover (as in the video) and another time its on to the exhaust tip. I've had a look under the expansion tank and it looks ok, but I can only see some of it as the view under is obscured. What do you guys think? http://youtu.be/Zmc2QHC0XpY http://vimeo.com/100059124
