It's definately not screenwash?

(Mine used to haemorrage screenwash when warm.)

Suggest adding a dye (fluorescent if you can get it), run the engine up and then use a UV light (Maplin's do them for not much cash).

Worked for my screenwash leak.

Re: coolant leak on gta

Happened to me a while back.... turned out to be the heater hose that runs to the climate control system which is mounted on the bulkhead. A complete pain to replace. Mechanic did a temp fix by cutting the hose and U-ing it back, thus bypassing the climate control. But doing this will mean no heat, and the climate control will act erratically in auto mode.
