Little bit worried.

[dap1977]

Hi,
I been the proud owner of a FD for a couple of months now. I maust admit I ve yet to drive in anger to much, apart for a blast down the lanes by me to keep everything moving once or twice a week.
 
I have no evedence of a rebuild, but I did have a specalist do a compression check on it before purchase and he said it was a strong engine (high 7\'s).
 
Now, Ive just noticed somthing odd. When I take the cap off of the water tank(centre one), the water is there to start with but if you keep watching it after 30 seconds or so it drains away back into the engine.
 
Ive checked this a couple of times, just in case im seeing things.
 
I dont think the level in the expansion tank is moving, it isnt moving a lot if it is?
 
Should I be worried??
 
Any help would be appriciated

I would not worry ATM if your not adding water or having the buzzer come on and you need to add water to get it to go off.

Only fill via the cap on the engine, leave the other two alone completely as the water goes out into the other tanks as the water heats up then draws it back in on cool down, if you fill everything up all it will make it do is try and dump excess water out

Hope this helps and have fun out there.
