How far can I drive with a leaky radiator in my wife's Mini?
My wife's car left a puddle in the driveway yesterday after having the engine on just long enough to pull it out of the garage. I got underneath and looked around today and there is some wet and crusty coolant all over the place, though I cannot find the leak. I would say it's about a tsp. or two and it leaked that much again today pulling it out of the garage. Reservoir tank was below minmum when I opened the hood. I believe it's only leaking when the engine is running, as I put a dish on top of the puddle last night and it was dry this morning. It's under warranty and the dealer is about 20 miles from the house. We have towing insurance, so that's not a problem. But is it safe to take it 20 miles or should we have it towed?
