Notice a few days ago slight whisps of water vapour on the trundle to work. Didn't think much of it, thought is was probably dew boiling off as the car got warm. But it's happening in the afternoon after being in the sun all day, and it smells like coolant.

Hardly loosing any water (so far) and it seems to be coming from the drivers side of the engine compartment. Are there any known weak areas for coolant hoses etc from '97

Cheers

I have a 97 wrx and the other week my redaitor went, funnly enough this was on the drivers side to, it started to crack down the front of the plastic end cap. Try checking that, hope this helps,

Thanks, I'll have a look. Steam seems to be coming from further back in the engine bay than that, but it's not easy to pin down.

How easy was the repair job ?
