Hi everyone about a month ago my coolant light started to flash and my engine started to overheat. I called the RAC who done a roadside pressure test who found nothing wrong, he couldn't see any sign of a leak anywhere either. I topped up with coolant at the nearest service station and everything was fine for the next couple of weeks. Then one morning the coolant light started to flash again and I noticed the level was really low, I booked it in to a local garage who did a gasket head check and pressure test, but said everything was fine. They found a leak from the water pump which they replaced along with the timing belt. But today the coolant light started to flash again and I've lost coolant again. My van is a 2004 1.9 diesel, if anyone has some advice I would be truly grateful
 
Is there any signs of emulsion on the filler cap ? Dip stick ? Has the oil level increased ?
 
Look behind the coolant bottle at the abs unit is it covered in coolant residue ?
