Coolant Leak

Hi guys,

Yesterday I topped up the coolant (RRS 4.2 s\c) - It wasn't low just at the minimum mark. Thought it wise to do this after a long run to Cornwall last weekend.

Today I noticed a coolant puddle under the front bumper (drivers side) - I cannot see anything obviously leaking through or under the bumper. I cleaned the affected area however the coolant still appears to be seeping from somewhere - any ideas or experience of this?

Cheers.

Are you sure it's definately coolant and not just water/condensation from the Aircon? 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

Pretty sure its coolant - Its the same colour (pink) - Although the consistency seems slightly more oily than water coolant.

I'm aware the AC seeps when it needs to - I assume this is just water - Where about does it do this? Is it in the same place front bumper drivers side?

Problem found.

Went into dealer and a quick inspection revealed a leaking radiator. Looks as if impacted by a stone type object at high speed. Hence unfortunately not a warranty cover Crying or Very sad
