Today the first of many

["Paul Salsbury" <paul.salsbury@xxxx>]

AS the subject says"today was the first of many" happy days of driving my
Delorean.

After 9 month of owning my car today I took her to work for her first run
out in the 'wild' legally, taxed and MOT'd and didn't that feel just great!!

I won't go into all the stories how people stared and crowded round each
time I parked however I will ask a question of something that really bugged
me.

I ran the car to work 20miles, no problems there she sat for 5 hours. I then
had to go to another stop 30 miles away, again no problems, about 20 min
after parking I took some people out to see her, and to my horror she was
dripping underneath (coolant) this progressively got worse until it was a
steady stream, eventually stopping when there was none left.
I've just left, however before leaving I topped her back up with coolant
checked underneath, no drips and set off. I've just driven 23 miles home
parked up when back half an hour later ....... Guess what, NO leaks or
drips?????

Any Ideas, I have an over heat self bleeding system on the car, the
otterstat is fine the fans work and the coolant is being pumped around the
system OK.

Phantom leak???

Cheers
Paul
