10uptobase Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Serviced car including coolant change by dropping bottom hose and bled via heater top hose back fill and rad plastic bleed screw. Took out for brisk run.Just went into garage to find puddle on floor and coolant all over engine bay. Refilled and ran to find what appears to be a leak from INSIDE the plastic bleed screw where the hex drive locates! (Cant see this type of large plastic bleed screw with o-ring on Caterham spares site. Can anyone advise where I can buy one?) Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does this look like: can you add a photo of the hole and the screw?Would PTFE tape on the thread stand a chance of working?Cant see this type of large plastic bleed screw with o-ring on Caterham spares site.
