| im 17 and have jus tbought a TE SL/X Gemini and when i took it for a strap today i got home to find lots of water leaking from the bottom the car. i didnt notice the temp rising too high. is this just caused by the radiator boiling and overflowing due to lack of water ( i forgot to check the level before i started) or coudl there be a serious problem. any advice would be helpfull. cheers.

welcome to the club of 'I DONT FUCKING KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH MY FUCKING GEMI ANYMORE'
Well sounds like a water pump to me depending on wether the water is leaking from. I filled mine up when my pump was shit and i went for a 3 min drive, i stopped and all water just pissed out from the donk..
If there isnt much water/coolant in raditar it would steam wouldnt it?? i dunno |
