HELLO PEOPLE I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY 54 PLATE SKODA FABIA VRS ITS LEAKING COOLANT UNDERNEATH THE CAR,ITS LEAKING FROM SOMEWHRE IT JUST KEEPS DRIPPING THROUGH AND OUT OF THE CIRCLE HOLE ON THE UNDERTRAY,

ID SAY THE LEAK IS PROBABLY DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THE GEAR SHIFT OR THE DASHBOARD,I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE OFF THE UNDERTRAY AND GET IT ON A RAMP TO VERIFY WHERE ITS COMING FROM, IM WONDERING IF ANYBODY COULD HELP ME TO DIAGNOSE WHAT IT IS AS I NEED IT FIXED ASAP,

IM WONDERING IF ITS DUE TO HAVING 90% WATER IN MY COOLING SYSTEM OVER THE COLD WEEKS AND A SEAL HAS GONE OR A PIPE HAS RUPTURED? PLEASE IF ANYBODY COULD HELP ME I WOULD BE DEARLY APPRECIATED THANKS

take a look at the oil cooler and the heater hoses otherwise it looks like a tray off job  

i think its going to have be tray off job aswell so i can get to the root of the cause i just hope it dont cost me loaads£££ 

does anybody know if its a big job taking the undertray off? 

does anybody know if its a big job taking the undertray off? 

8 or 9 T20 screws.

Yeah, real big job lol.

Nah, proper socket and it will be off in 5. Just work around the undertray removing all the bolts, there are at least 6.

 

Helps to have some room to get under there, either park on a tall kerb, or jack the car up and backup the jack with a couple of bricks or stand in case the jack fails.

 

Then you can be sure its not just rainwater or something. Unless your fluids are actually going down, it may not be coolant.

 

Although no coolant antifreeze in there is just plain bonkers.
