Hi all, newbie here.
I have an issue with water loss/coolant leak on a R reg 306 DT.
There is water in the passenger footwell, heater matrix was my thoughts as this was coupled to coolant loss/low level coolant light showing on the dash.
Topped the expansion bottle up and ran the car for approx. 15 minutes as it had been stood a while.
I noticed water under the car, on the floor.
On closer inspection water was coming out of what looks like a rubber drain pipe in the bulkhead (near the bottom section). Just above the steering rack. (the rack seems to have a waterproof cover on to combat this??)
However the water coming out was warm, which led me to think that it was engine coolant?
Is this a drain for the heater and point towards a leaking matrix and/or "O" rings?
The car has AC too.
TIA.
