The Bongotron is losing a little bit of water, probably 250ml every 400-500miles
Water is totally clean, as is the oil, the water pipes are not hard when running either, so system not being pressurised by combustion gasses & not a trace of white smoke when hot or cold.
The old girl is in for a pre-summer service at ADS Bristol on Thursday so they will check it out, hopefully just a weep from a union or the water pump.
Will report back

Re: Loosing a Little Water
Also worth checking All the core plugs, particularly the hard to see ones Behind manifolds and at the back of the head.
Good Luck.

Re: Loosing a Little Water
Some say its worth buying a u/v torch and some u/v dye and putting that in the system to see if the source of an an otherwise undetectable leak can be tracked down. Might be worth a go?Mark Elvin wrote:The Bongotron is loosing a little bit of water, probably 250ml every 400-500miles
