Losing coolent?

[garya]

awryt guys have been having this problem for a while now i need to top up my coolent at least once a week as it keeps getting low.could this be a leak in the pipes or sumthing more serious?.

Radiator leak, heater matrix leak, split pipe, loose hose clip, headgasket failure.

Could be any of those mate, best off checking to see if theres any water dripping from underneath when its running, then start looking at the more serious reason

Could be something serious, but on the other hand it could be as simple as a split pipe.

Have a good look at all the pipes for splits / damage. Maybe pressurise the header tank with a bike pump then you can see if you are leaking any water from anywhere

Also worth doing a comp test, that will give you an indication of other issues. Are you getting oil / water mix in the header tank?? Any white smoke from the exhaust ?
