did you open the header tank when engine was warmed up it will spew some out but not spitting it out and the level of your reservoir should be between min and max when cold but would reckon it will need topped up if you have lost some out of the header tank.

mines is the gen 2 bd model with bilstein suspension not many saloons but plenty of estates almost bought one till this popped up and your right the lift when the second turbo kicks in makes it feel more than 280bhp as standard and glad things have gone back to normal can be temperamental when they want to be.
