do you think somethig was frozen and then thawed out ?
top all up this after noon with more anti freeze do you think car is ok to drive?
looked near water pump but no leak
thanks for your help
 
Have you checked the strength of your antifreeze recently?it has been very cold just recently as you know. to much water and less antifreeze could cause your coolant to freeze.Its a simple test that you can do and it involves buying a little dropper from your car parts shop. Just draw some antifreeze into the tube and read what the strength is. Hopefully you have not caused any long term damage.
 
hi thanks for reply
