Jimny does a small wee... was created by goatboy
So I've spotted when I pull up and the jimny is up to temp it does a small wee... I think it must be over excited about being driven :lol:
OK so on a more sensible note I've got a small coolant leak when hot that seems to be coming from the rubber coolant pipe just behind the alternator. (about 20cm long I guess)
Any body else ever had a leak there?
Its a pig to even look at so its going to be horrible to change I'm guessing...
If anyone has any tips I would appreciate knowing them. Luckily it looks like it already has jubilee clips rather than those horrible factory fit clips...

Mine leaks when I have the air con on, but this is normal. Have you been using your air con? I know it's not the weather for it, but It can be used in winter to demist the windows

Do you have a twin cam or single cam - I'm thinking single as you avatar shows a soft top - on the twin cam under there looks like a right git to change any coolant hoses or stop leaks - so I've been just hoping nothing goes wrong under their - anything under the inlet manifold looks a git to get to!!!
