Default steam from rad

got steam coming from the a huge amount pasenger side of the rad, its not thick either. so a small light flow only noticeable when its dark as the headlights pick up on it.

anyideas dont think im loosing water will have another look in the morning
just wondered if its the rad itself or the bottom hose

(if its the hose surely it would be pissing water everywhere as its a presurised syste)


cheers matt

If it's a classic, then it's most likely to be a hairline crack in the plastic end tank of the rad. - You should be able to find the source of the leak by looking at the coolant stains.
