SWMBO's 1.4 R-reg Renault Clio has a coolant leak coming out near the front driver's side wheel. It's a 1.4 "E-type" engine (at least, that's what the Haynes bumper book of jokes calls it). The only thing I can see that has coolant at that side of the engine is the water pump - all the coolant plumbing seems to be on the other end (passenger side).
I can see coolant dribbling down the sump, but can't see further up behind the timing belt to see where it's actually coming from.
It's booked into the garage on Wednesday for fixing, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any likely causes on this particular model to give us some idea of what to expect - I have neither the time nor the inclincation to pull the timing belt off to get to the water pump to find out for certain....
