Hi there,
I had a very slight coolant loss the past months, removed belly pan and traced the pink crust all the way up to behind the intake manifold.
cap/ressure release seems normal but after I topped up with 2l of g12+ concentrate it dripped a lot more and then stabilised tight for the last 2000 miles - even 38 degrees Celsius all day in traffic with aircon on.
My thoughts/hopes are that coolant was too diluted in the past and some water boiled through a release valve<?> or weakness in the lines.

this is the best pic I could get with an endoscope of the origin, if anyone can identify the area, greatly appreciated - to me its looks like a temp sensor or somewhat, but I've never been there in one of these engines...thanks.
