hey there, is your car left hand drive? If so it is probably the ast either cracked or overflowing, if it is overflowing, try replacing the cap, if that dosent fix the leak then it could be a few things, mine turned out to be a blown water seal... but im not saying that yours is, If the car is right hand drive then it is more than likely something to do with the radiator fill tank, ( not sure on the correct name) the one with the dipstick in it does the water leak when the car is running or only when you turn the car off or ??

I would suggest that you run the car and have a look under the hood to see exactly where the fluid is coming from,

I no someone in norway

it only leaks after i turn the car off, you might be right, it lookes wet around the bottom fill tank(under the headlight.) what could be damaged there? what do i replace?

That resevior can crack. If it turns out to be that, get it fixed immediately or you run the risk of puking your coolant on the ground and not having enough next time you start the car.

hey Im not familiar with the setup of the fill tank or resivoir... I have searched but could only find a diagram of the cooling system that consisted of the engine and radiator not the resivoir bottle, it sounds like that is where the leak is coming from,

Its not just over full and flooding when you turn the car off and it cools down??

Maybe someone else can point us in the direction of a diagram to see if there are any hoses or connections that could have failed ???????? or it could be just that the tank has cracked, Have you had a look under to see what you can find??
