Ive just bought a 97 turbo and ive noticed water underneath the car after its been parked. It seems to be coming from where the coolant top up reservoir is, after the car has been run. Could it just mean that the reservoir is overfilled or is it something more serious? Any help would be much appreciated.

had a similar problem just after getting my sti2(my96), where part of the header tank had rotted away. it was the bit that the hose to the turbo connects to.
check the header tank and all the hoses around it.

hope your problem is as simple as mine was.......

Bloody thing nearly killed me this morning. I was overtaking an artic when the car suddenly lost power. It picked up again almost straight away but then did the same thing. A van was coming towards me and I was almost squashed. Brown trousers time I can tell you. Now every time Im doing 80 to 90 MPH its like running on kangaroo petrol. Cudt find any signs of leaking there dodge my man
