Hello
Just arrived at work and looked out of the window to see plenty of steam rising from the bonnet.
I had a small amount of steam, wisps , and piosted this

This time it was full blown, looked under the car and there is a lot of coolent on the floor, but there was a fine jet of steam coming from just above the cam belt cover on the left hand side of the car as you look at it, I cant see where its coming from though, also I imagine the leak has come from here as the rad is wet directly where the jet of steam was coming from.
Could it be as scott T said in the previous thread ?? could it have perished popped off and caused the entire rad to empty??

The steam is the condensation in the pipe burning off and escaping.
the up-pipe is underneath the turbo and connects the turbo to the header/manifolds
Probably best to get it into the local dealer, and probably not a good idea to fill it up with water and try and get home !!
