Had my Gen 1 for a few months now, but over the weekend, found out it was just about out of coolant. Just put in ~2 litres and topped up the small white over flow tank but not had time to run it yet. No leaks on the garage floor (well except from the rad overflow pipe when I slightly over filled it!) so guessing it's either water pump seal or head gasket. Only put ~2 thousand on it since I got it off DevilsYam so confident it was full when I picked it up.
Will need to drag it out into the sun light and check the top of the exhaust for a leak from the drain hole, sort of hope it's the water pump seals rather than the head gasket (well actually hope it's nothing but very much doubt that!).
Anyone had a water pump seal go, and got some idea how much it loses per mile/100 miles in case I can't see any leak?
Either way, not going to be going far any time soon :'(
cheers
