Help ! Coolant Leak ?

Post by Salty »

Hi All,
Just found a puddle of coolant under my Nh 3ltr. Has not been used for for a couple of days. On inspection found that there was a steady drip coming from behind the oil filter mount. On topping up the top tank and running the engine the flow rate of the drip increased :?: a fair bit. Has any member with same vehicle experienced this problem, if so what was it and what is the proceedure for fixing it ???
A quick response would be appreciated as I need to organise getting the vehicle to my mechanic tommorrow as I live in an semi-rural area.
Thanks in advance.
regards Salty.
