Coolant drip

[Guest]

I've a slight puddle of coolant dripping off the drivers side exhaust downpipe. Its not alot but am worried it could be the start of something. I need to top up the coolant quite regulary, with about half a pint every 200 miles. All hoses are new, I've checked and tightened all clips. There is no water is the Vee.

Any ideas where this is coming from? Thanks.

I know this is a stupid response, but I have exactly the same thing, only it is transmission fluid. Same place exactly. Is there somewhere common that both fluids pass on that side of the car? Only cooland hose I can think of over thereare the heater hoses, but I'm no expert.

Hi guys

My inlet manifold was leaking .coolant was running down to the head gasket joint line(left head looking from front of car)along to the back and around to the lowest part of the head, then droping down on to the exhaust at the exact place on yourpic.

Ps inlet manifoldproved a pig to get sealed(still weeps if left for some time but doesn't leak if its used regularly,strange)

Hope this helps
