Since a few months ago i've had a small coolant leak on my 1988 Escort, it was on a generic brand of conventional green IAT until now ( which is in fact Pink ) and it every day leaked a bit of coolant from either the thermostat housing, or the fan switch sensor, i don't know exactly from where.
10 days ago i switched to a VW G12++ meeting Silicated OAT ( see the stuff in the expansion tank on the pic below ), it continued leaking as usual for a few days but has strangely stopped for nearly a week now.
Odd isn't it? any theories? it had leaked pretty much non stop for 2-3 months, although it was a small leak and had little or no effect on the coolant level.
I don't have any pics of the leaking area itself so have a pic of the glorious 1.6L SOHC 8v Ford CVH injected by the Bosch K-Jet injection system which basically works via witchcraft and black magic.
