Hi guys I need some help

My vitara is leaking coolant it's a 1996 v6 model now for the life of me I can't see where it is coming from. When underneath the car after driving it there is coolant drippIng off everything from behind the cross member. And there is remnants of coolant ontop of the bell housing but I can't trace it to anywhere else after that the 3 point connection that goes between the heads and connects to te heater but I can't see any traces of coolant there

There was also steam coming from under the plastic cover so removed that but still found nothing

Does anyone know or have they had a problem like this ? It has got me stuffed.


Cheers

no drama's, i had one weep on my j20a i could smell coolant but couldn't see any leaks... took ages to find.

i ended up ordering genuine o rings as i wasn't sure of the sizes.
