Can anyone help with coolant issue?? Had head gasket done last week (££ ouch)..... drove fine until yesterday.....car hadnt been used 4 24 hrs....went to go out yesterday to find coolant leaked over drive. Filled it up, did short journey, empty when i got home. Filled it ip again, turned on engine....all fine....no leak. Get up this morning + coolant all over drive again.....any ideas??

When you say coolant all over the drive do you mean literally cos my father in law had the engine in his Pajero rebuilt and the garage didn't tighten up one of the clips on the water hoses. I assume that the oil is still black and there's no water mixed in with it. I'd be inclined to run the engine with the bonnet open to see exactly where the coolant is coming from
While not blonde i am a daft old bird!! It is leaking thru hole in engine plate thing.....been out there now + its dripping. Thinking of taking this plate thing off but am nervous (hate being so bk×÷dy anxious all the time!!).

Nothing negative about it, simply an educated guess at model and engine type, I wasn't wrong was I? It also keeps your thread at the top of the recent posts. thread

Fair play to you for being willing to have a go at fixing it
No shame in taking it back to the garage cos that's what you paid them for in the first place
