White Marks In Engine Bay

[DC33VN]

I recently took my car for a drive and came back and noticed all this build up of white water marks all over my timing cover hoses and radiator shroud.

My radiator has a good ammount of broken fins in the middle bottom of the radiator and im just wondering if it is from the water leaking from the radiator and getting spun from the fan all over my engine bay and just drying up or is it something else

check your coolant level to start with (when the car is cold obviously). if it is low then it is most likely coolant. does look suspiciously like coolant though.

The car doesn't get driven at all.

Long story short i saw the coolant level was low i filled it up and it dropped empty again and then refilled it again and then it went down once again.

I have refilled it now and drove it for a good 4 to 5 hours and surprisingly the car has not lost any coolant but there is defiantly a leak and i think its coming from where i have taken the picture below

White is a telltale sign of coolant. It's either coming from the radiator, the turbo water feed that goes across the timing cover (this might be GTR specific, I don't know if RB25's have this or not) or a pinhole leak in the upper or lower radiator hose.

im about 99% sure its from the radiator now its time to go find a alloy one.

Any recommendations on what ones are good for around 450 max?

I use a Cooling Pro one in a very hot climate and does the job fine. Factory shroud bolts onto it without dramas aswell.
