Okay so I recently had all three cooant hoses replaced at the back of the motor, I didnt tackle the job myself as I trust my dealership to perform all works on my car.
The car was driven yesterday for about 15 minutes in a casual manner, never using WOT, the engine temp (standard guage) shot up so dramatically that I didn't notice it was getting hot.
Luckily, at the time I was pulling into my driveway, but there was a plume of steam from under the bonnet. I opened the bonnet in the driveway and shut the motor off. There was some coolant on the ground understandably and when the steam calmed down I peered my head into the location of the leak and it seeemed to have been coming from the back where the heater hoses were replaced. It took about 15-20 minutes for the steam to stop and I can't see any obvious problems/breakages otherwise I wouldn't need help but if anyone has been through trauma can they share their experience with me as to what the problem is and how it can be fixed?
The car is a 1993 R32 GT-R with aftermarket radiator, 1.3 cap, power fc, no massive mods that differentiate it from a standard car.
