In a word no the p38 is not obd compliant and only dedicated diag will work, the best is Nanocom by blackbox solutions there are a couple more but not as good.

While your at it check for damp carpets by the BECM,below the front of the drivers seat.and if you remove the base trim check the plugs for damp and corrosion.

An alternator setpoint of 13.8V will probably kill that.

This is the regulator to fit that ups the voltage to 14.7v which is better for newer battery design

You may need to take the becm out whip the top off and check for damp and let it dry in the airing cupboard.

Coolant or water? The aircon drains sometimes pop off under the centre console. Then again, might be rain leaking in. Coolant will be the o-rings on the heater matrix pipes.

Windscreen seals have been known to corrode underneath and cause issues. Replacement screens too.

Deffo no Anti-freeze in the system you mean? (He said, helpfully).
As long as your expansion bottle is staying solid on a level and not showing any water loss then it is most likely a poor "pollen-filter" sealing or a leak around the screen or the like.
