Default COOLANT LEAK

i seem to have a slight coolant leak but only happens when you give the car a bit of a boot? i left it ticking over on the drive and nothing, went for a slow drive nothing, then went for a blast... came back and its around the top hose area on the rad and is wet on the crossmember at bottom of rad. anyone have any ideas where it could be leaking from? and how come it only does it when going fast? thanks

sounds like you have a small hole/split around the clip, common when the gearbox mounts start to go, it tears the hose, or could be pulling on it.

take it off and have a good look, if you find nothing, just be taking it off and refitting it might sstop it.

worse case, you have a small leak on the rad, what ya wanna do before taking anything off is go for a blast, and pull up and pop bonnet quick and look for any water jetting out from anywhere
