im loosin coolant. help

[dikky5]

im loosin coolant v slowly but only when i put my boot down. i think its cumin from the bottom half o the rad but i aint sure. Any u guys noticed any common problems

If its from the rad I'd check the pipes and if theyre ok then you'll probably end up having to change the rad.
Hopefully thats all it is. When I saw the thread title I though there was another cracked head story coming!

my tourer is doing this..... check following:

all pipes-inc those to heater...this was prob with mine
heater matrix
rad
thermo housing gaskets
excessive condensation from engine could indicate gasket/head issue
