Seems to be sorted, no water loss now

Be good to know if it holds out. If I ever get around to changing my S (one way or another in the next 6 months) then I'll be in for the long haul and would be interesting to see how long term ownership pans out

 

I've decided that I'm not leaking anywhere but just overheating and then losing fluid when the radiator cap blows as the coolant gets too hot from the overheating... going back to the dealer for the THIRD time!

The did pressure tests on and off over a period of a day, with some runs in between and they found no probs at all with the pressures. In the end- after a repeated experience of oil in my coolant, they sorted it all underwarranty - gasket. Didn't cost me a penny, just had to make do with an Accord Auto for 4 days
