Had the get the teg recovered tonight because of overheating. Pulled into a petrol station to let it cool/investigate. Rad looked low so bought a liter of coolant to top it up, drank the whole thing!!! Chanced driving a lil further, temps were goin too high again. Pulled over and called a truck. Could see coolant dripping from the plastics at the front of the engine but it was too dark to investigate any further.
Anything common to be looking for or starting with??? If its nothing obvious like a huge crack somewhere!!!

Check the bottom of the expansion tank I know they're prone to cracking and leaking.

The plastic top or bottom of the radiator is likely to be cracked imo - mine went without warning and it seems to be a common thing. The rad is conveniently hidden by the front bumper so I'd get that off for a look.
