    Coolant leak

    Gday,

    I noticed a wet patch under the car this morning and did some investigation and found a coolant leak (see pic).

    I looks like either a leak from the hose above, the drain plug or the seal where it attaches to the engine.

    The car has done 46,000klm and was wondering two things.

    1. while I've got her apart I'll replace the coolant but should I replace the hose as well while I'm at it ? (I don't know the expected life of a radiator hose)

    2. Can I add a little water for the next couple of days till I can get it done ?

    Drew
