Just on the cusp of vacation too - which is a good thing I guess to catch this before heading out. Must have just started as I have been keeping my eye on the level of coolant in the fill reservoir which has been unchanged since I added about a 1/2 litre about 4 weeks back. I haven’t noticed any drips until yesterday either. Bruce On Wednesday, July 21, 2021, Thomas Casal <thomas.casal@gmail.com> wrote: > That’s a bummer.
