Hey up Gail, welcome indeed..
Well, it goes to show there are even darker forces at work that even i don't know about.
Fixed it self? When did the leak stop? I hope it didn't run dry before it did? :D
I got the pink stuff in mine!

Happy Bongoing!! =D>

If you have ANY concern whatsoever about possible coolant loss get it checked out by somebody who knows what they are doing, not just any old mechanic who thinks they do.

What may seem inconsequential now, can be real trouble later - you cannot just top a Bongo up and hope it's going to be OK.

Yep, vital that the system is bled properly.

Don't take any chances with this.

And welcome aboard. :D
