#1: engine coolant leak approx 50ml a minute Author: richy244, Posted: Thu Aug 15, 2013 11:59 am ---- Hello Again
My 1.1 has developed a fairly severe coolant leak about 50ml a miute, and i have to top it up with water twice a day. It appears to be coming from the water pump tho im not sure. It was changed with the canmbelt just 2 months ago using this kit... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peu...0714518376
Ive checked the pipe that goes from the resovoir to the engine and that seems ok. Anyone got any clues?

Check both water cap and engine oil filler cap for milky residue.
If residue then chances are blown head u/l.
Other than that check radiator / matrix radiator for any signs of leakage.
That's an awful lot of water to be losing. G/L

O ring seal that comes in a bag of 5 when I did mine last year.
Im down to 4 in my stock now

My instinct is that its the O ring for the waterpump. I paid a guy £80 to do the cambelt, waterpump and aux belt just 2 months ago. Dont you need to take all that off to get at the waterpump? Is there anywhere that does Strong O rings?

There is nothing wrong with a genuine Peugeot / Citroen supplied part.
Go to a main dealer & buy the O ring from there.

Another £60 spent. New problem now is the left indicator staying on constantly i.e. not clicking. i can only turn it off by removing a fuse? is it the relay?
