Hi
About 2 weeks ago I noticed when I'd do the school run in the am my car was taking a long time to blow warm air, by daughter's school is about 10min away. Anyway I figured my coolant levels were low, so I topped the car right up. Car was running fine, then its started happening again and the temp gauge went right up. Last week I had to refill the whole resovouir.
Anyway yesterday, I was driving from Brum to Nottingham and on the motorway my car started overheating, I popped the bonnet and there was just under the min mark of coolant, i topped of with water, on my way back to brum I picked up coolant topped the car and drove back.
This morning I drove my daughter to school, I popped the bonnet and the coolant was bone dry, so I topped up and let the car run for about 10mins. I noticed the car was blowing cold air, slightly warming when I was driving, about 7mins into the journey the car starts smoking. When I got home I popped the bonnet, the car lost about half the coolant from the short journey, the right corner of the bonnet its wet. The picture below is after the school run. Ive checked the coolant levels since and they are the same.
I think it might be the radiator
