1995 2.0 Water coolant leak - colin1
I have a vectra 1995 (2.0). . . I notice water diappearing from water resevoir every two days. check all pipes for broken pipe but all are fine. I noticed every time after a drive water is dripping from under bonnet. Have established that water leakes from something where small hoses coming from the engine and going into the cabin connectl about three hoses are connected to this part. Why is this so. The part does no appear to be broken and this happens only after a drive and when park.
Have removed the large hose under the inlet manifold and there are no cracks in the pipe!!

air-con shut off valves switch off the coolant flow to the heater matrix. Hence they leak coolant when they fail. valve has three coolant pipes and one small vacuum pipe.
