Hi all
Having cleaned out the cooling system over the last few days, the system is still emptying itself and then overheating. By chance, a friend followed me home tonight and said it was leaking water from the front wheelarch, right where the overflow is. It seems to happen at higher revs so I'm guessing the head gasket has gone somewhere and is pressurising the system. There doesn't seem to be any steam from the exhaust, so I'm guessing the leak is only under compression. .
I am up against time. I'm going to Le Mans on Thursday morning early, so I need to diagnose this right first time. Head gasket should be relatively easy to change assuming the pots are above the block line OK, but before I go there, is there anything else anyone knows of that might be causing this?
Thanks in advance
