My 98 GU has 430,000KMS on it, a 4.5 petrol, manual and runs duel fuel.
I drove the car to the shops this morning and noticed that it was leaking what appears to be coolant from the engine.
I had a quick look under the car / bonnet and couldn't really determine where it was coming from.
Decided to catch the bus to work and left it there for 9 hours.
I came back tonight and started the car and there was a fairly loud clacking / knocking noise coming from the front of the engine.
The engine has plenty of oil and the oil light hasn't come on.
I checked the coolant the previous weekend before any of this occurred and there was heaps in the radiator / reservoir.
The noise went up with the revs.
I let it warm up for about 5 minutes and the noise when away.
I was about to drive home (about 2 kms) without the oil light coming on / temp gauge rising above half (it's normal operating level). The car appeared to have full power.
