I have just had quite a lot of work done to my 300tdi defender which included timing belt , new radiator and new full length intercooler.
Problem is I've now got a coolant leak. Initially I thought it was the threaded connections to the radiator, which hadn't been tightened properly, but after nipping them up and cleaning the engine bay down I'm still losing coolant . Since yesterday, about a pint in about 30mls of motorway driving . The truck wasn't losing it before and I can't find an obvious source of the leak now as the engine bay is still stained from before . The oil is fine no milky residue. Any ideas ?

did you bleed the cooling system after re-filling it?
