Coolant leak 04 X-Type
Coming home today I noticed a smell of antifreeze coming into the car. The temp gauge was a notch passed halfway. I turned off the AC and it went back down to 1/2 way and went back and forth until I got home. Checked under the hood and noticed a leak from someplace. There was a puddle of antifreeze underneath the overflow tank and on the right side of the engine bay. It was raining so I really could not see where it was coming from.
Any ideas? Or common problems with leaks around that area?

Thats what it was.. I filled it and was going to drop the car off at the dealer and it all poured right out. Thats when I noticed the nipple broke off on the left side of the tank, so I took it and shoved it into the overflow and drove to the dealer. Its there right now and I have a Ford Edge as the loaner. Should have it back later on today.
Would this be covered under warranty? Since this must be a known issue on the X-Type?

Well it was all fixed today.. They replaced the overflow tank and did a pressure test and found out the water pump gasket was leaking. This was also replaced and it was all done under warranty. All I had to pay for is $10 to fill up the loaner car I had.
I have said it before and I will say it again.. Great Neck Jaguar is a great dealership and a great place for service. Anyone looking for quality work done on their Jaguar should go there.
