The leak does not appear to occur while the car is running - it seems to occur within a couple of minutes at most after the car is turned off and fairly rapid (a steady stream of coolant aprox 2.5mm in diam), and slows somewhat as the car begins to cool to the point where it appears to stop without having completely drained the reservoir. Other than the 'fill coolant' msg on the SID, the engine temp is not overheating.
Looking under the car, I can see the leak dripping aprox. below where the coolant reservoir would be, but I cannot be absolutely sure. I do not have a proper jack (other than the one to change the tires) and am a bit leary about sticking my head under the car with only the tire jack. When I jack the car up with the tire jack, the leak appears to move to the oposite location on the other side of the car.
I will try and take photos if this would help.
