What kind of coolant should I buy? I just topped off with some ordinary coolant that is supposed to be safe for aluminium, because I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to drive the car or have to tow it.

Overflow tak cap look great. Bone dry. There was no coolant around that whole side of the car.

I looked at all the hoses I could see and didn't see any problems there.
Thermosat housing is dry also.




#3 Upper Radiator Hose - looks ok
#1 Lower Radiator Hose - looks ok
#6 Overflow Hose - looks ok
#5 Expansion Tank Hose - looks ok
#15 Radiator Cap - looks ok
