Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Coolant gone after oil top up Astra H 2006

Filled it up with water been for a 5 min drive come back coolant tank empty steam everywhere again engine seems to be overheating so don't think its leaking think its actually using it. Surely related to oil I put in yesterday, checked oil level again still just under max. I used magnatec 5w 30 which is what I always use any ideas

I should also point out that no lights have come on the dash whatsoever

Gasket or a core plug has popped

Radiator burst ?

pipe burst

Where is steam coming from ?

I also put the heater on when i was sat in the car and hot air came through

steam appears to be coming directly off the engine- doesnt appear to be any leaks but had to be certain as the roads wet where its parked

front or back of engine bay ?

Hard to tell buddy, it seems to steam much worse when the bonnets closed, everything is damp under there after running for only a couple of minutes, including battery top of fuse box etc on other side of bonnet- also seems louder than normal.

text Chris Gilly earlier gonna take it to him tommorow night and get him to have a look

Fixed now thanks to Chris Gilly was a split pipe running to the heater matrix which was leaking coolant. Nicely done and at a great price well impressed
