Im curious how a blown rad leads to coolant leaking from a pipe in the middle of the car. A bit more detail please......

Not yet uncovered the mystery of the "coolant" from the pipes under the middle of the car. Maybe it was A/C condensation that was for some reason slightly blue??

I will get the rad sorted then see if the levels stay constant.

a/c Condensate is clear usually, unless some kind of chemical flush to sanitise the system was used, or perhaps it's mixing with screen wash from when you use the washers?  Where does that drain?  Assuming you are using a 'blue' tinted wash?

Watching coolant squirt out of a large crack was rather convincing!  ;)
