Seems to me that the entrance to the heater core can readily become clogged. I'd try to flush and fill. May try to get that leak at the same time. Your car is running at the right temperature....for now. Is also likely a pretty cheap fix (if leak is accessible).....for now. |
I had that also, once I found what I thought was the drain bolt on the engine block, I took it off and nothing. WTF???? I tried to get my finger in there and
the hole was too small. I couldn't get a screwdriver in there either because of the position. I bent a paper clip and stuck it in there. Just black soot. After
5 mins of poking and googling on line to make sure I was in the right spot.....
Finally a little trickle, more poking and a face full of coolant!!!! It was a 19mm
bolt on the m42 engine.
