Depends on how old the coolant tank is does the spray residue hit the bonnet as well. There's a good chance the tank is split around the filling cap, so when pressure builds up the cracks allow the liquid to spray out. They're cheap enough to get hold of. Pending on where you live?
Living in Amsterdam which makes lil higher but definitely will start with it. Thank you!

What engine is it? If it's a 1.8L then the water pump is the likely cause. If it's the 2.5L, the it's probably the thermostat or it's associated pipes.
Hi there, I have replaced the tank but still tho leaking. Any further idea?

Nodge mentioned possibly two versions depending on the engine type. If the expansion water tank is new then could be hoses old enough to be perish. Also water pump seal failed under pressure. Are you petrol or diesel engine?
Petrol 2.5 v6.

I told you in post 4.
The thermostat is the most likely place for coolant to leak on the KV6. It's underneath the inlet manifolds, in the V.
