Where from exactly? could it be the hose to/from the cooler?

Have you just noticed it's empty/low or is it an obvious leak? Need more info to be able to help.

Who fitted it? sounds like they need a rocket up their ar5e, could have been nasty, hope you haven't done any lasting damage [-o<

I am fuming! We dont think it has but not sure yet! It was a garage in scarborough as the rad went while I was on holiday up there. I have driven 600 miles with the oil coming out!
Thanks for your help xx

Let them know & seek reparation. Was it a bongo recommended garage?
