top the water up and take it for a drive to get it hot, come back and lift the bonet, check round the water pump and the header tank cap/overflow pipe what engine is it btw?

seen many 24vs with h/gaskets weeping, usually very slight & usually evaporates befor dripping on the floor / tray. in process of rectifying a leak on the wifes, the hose through the n/s head, waiting for the hose & seals from main agents, could have been worse, could have blown on the way back from Harewood.
