Coolant overflow pipe :location
 
IS there a coolant overflow pipe on our SVX?
If so where is it located?

Pipe location
 
This is no overflow pipe. It is a closed system and there is a piece of tubing which runs from the radiator filler neck around the front fender by the battery and connects to the coolant reservoir. Excess fluid is pumped out of the radiator as needed and when the engine cools down, vacuum causes fluid to be drawn back into the radiator from the reservoir. Closed systems like this are very efficient at preventing overheating and have been around for over 20 years

Ive had leaking cooland dripping out of my right front tow hook after
excessive stress, (three runs of autocross) and I was hoping it was just overflow :(

I can see a leak, and it hasnt been any signs of a leak since then,

I guess I have to jack up my car and pull the plastic off. Hopefully its the tubing thats a little losse and not a cracked radiator :( Is there anywhere other than the tubing or the radiator coolant can come out of?
