    I think it was a bit loose, getting more coolant and food while it cools down.

    Only started leaking when hit full temp.

    all sorted now, was lose banjo from the top radiator to turbo. car is running perfect now except for a slight exhaust leak from the v clamp, but new exhaust is going on in a day or 2 so no need to stress about it.

    And make sure if you do it or the shop does it they use the correct ratio of coolant Click here to enlarge
    I will let you know for sure.

    As for coolant I use a premix (50/50 blend)
