0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
- Carry out an initial visual inspection to locate the component that is leaking or the area of the leak.- Check that there is no engine oil in the coolant.- Check that there is no water or emulsion in the engine oil.- If the visual check is not sufficient, wash the engine, dry it and start slowly to bring it up to the correct temperature. Test the watertightness of the system to identify the leak    Op. 0510C30 ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM - LEAKAGE TEST Move on to Step 11. Leaks from pipes2. Leak from the radiator3.
