I'm now thinking this leak may have been caused when the belts were done, as they said they would need to drain the coolant as part of the process. Would this point to anything in particular? If it isn't related to the belt change, (which would be a massive coincidence, as the leak was noticed the following day) what else could it be?
TIA guys! I am not in danger - I am the danger - I am the one who knocks

Cheers I'll bear that in mind.
How many litres of coolant should the system hold?


When I drained my system, while replacing engine bay coolant hoses, I used a American gallon of coolant and one gallon of deskilled water exactly.

Sounds like the water pump to me.

It was indeed the water pump.
New one on its way from Steve at AF as we speak.
