It happens with these bottles that a small hole or crack develops.
Sometimes the cap leaks a little, sometimes the sensor O ring lets some out.
But I have seen pin hole, crack, etc.

Subject: Coolant reservoir bottle the 85 gl 2wd type

So can someone tell me, is leaking from the under side of these is
common/possible? I came outside this evening to a drip from the back of the
van.

Inspection revealed drip directly above the coolant bottle bracket.
(Underside of bottle ) I could not flip the bottle over or enough to see
under it after I took the retaining screws off. Coolant hoses seem dry, cap
seem dry.  Seems to leak under pressure. Drip drip drip.

Thanks
Tony
