Hi guys,
Last night came back to the van and there was a big puddle of coolant all underneath the front of the van - not going to lie didn’t think anything of it, thought someone had dropped their pink drink or something.. got home and the beeper went off for the coolant - as soon as I got out to check it out there was already a puddle - the stuff is gushing out …
Any ideas? Guessing it’s a burst pipe or maybe the radiator

Re: COOLANT EVERYWHERE
Lots of things it might be but without seeing it first hand it's very hard to say.
If it's come on suddenly, I'd say possibly a radiator problem or water pump seal.
Have you had any work done on the engine recently?

Re: COOLANT EVERYWHERE
This happened to my son's van. He took it for a drive after I' d replaced 2 x injectors and came back to tell me the bad news. Hopefully you haven't overheated the engine.
Fill it up with water and start it up. Hopefully the leak will be obvious.
Don't leave the engine running too long tho
Not sure what caused the leak for us but one of the injector return pipe clips pinged off and was lost so it could have been that. The water was pouring out of the radiator. The replacement pattern radiator didn't cost too much.
Good luck.
