Despite new coolant system cap and coolant renewal as reported earlier and curing collapsing hose condition a leak has become evident in heater region. On standing and cooling, sometimes a half cup of coolant may trickle away, running off the bodywork behind the left hand front wheel. Peering down through the maze of bits and pieces under the plastic covered components on the left hand side (looking forward) I can see some green puddling. Armed with a mirror and light maybe the offending spot can be located? No coolant loss occurs during normal use - only after standing and cooling. Very hard to see even where heater plumbing runs. Note a mention of o-ringed seals in the heater region - could one of these have been disrupted due to the vacuums created with the cap problem. Would love to sniff out this probably minor problem without succumbing to the open cheque book approach. Pump seal not suspected now either but a good pointer from a respondent also. Any further advice appreciated and many thanks for previous assistance.
