Ok heres the situation. I took my svx on an autocross, and afterwards I noticed coolant leaking from the right carhook on the underside of my car.


WhHere are the possible places coolant could leak from?

I hope i didnt crack my radiator....,


The leak seemed to be temporary too, it stopped by the time I got home.
Could lateral Gs, push some coolant out from, ... i dont know, an opening somewhere?

I dont see any cracks in my piping.

Henry, do you still have the belly pan attached? If so, it could be collecting from anywhere. Perhaps it came out of the overflow tube when you were punching it hard. Check upper and lower hoses for leaks at the radiator connection and (gulp) your water pump. Let's hope it was just "overvlow" from the overflow tube. Oh, check for any leakage round your cap. If the seal is "questionable" the car could blow coolant from around the cap under hard acceleration.
