Hi,
My 1995 C220 developed a small leak from the Radiator. I have taken a pic from top elevation.
Can any 1 advice me where the leak from?
Kind Regards

There seem to be wet near the pulleys, near the water pump. Is this a water pump leak or its a normal discharge by the water pump due to cooling system prob (like a leaking Radiator/loss of pressure?)
Can I top up my coolant & drive to my mechanic?
Hard to tell from the pic, but it looks to me like you have a small leak in the radiator itself (could be the hose, but I doubt it by the location). Looking by the lower rediator hose, there is a greenish/white accumulation which generally signifies a radiator leak. It looks like it is leaking there, and then draining back towards the engine.
From your second post, it sounds like it might be the water pump. The seal in a water pump can go abd. Generally you would see coolant leaking from a weep hole on the underside of the waterpump below the shaft.
If its the radiator, a good radiator shop would be able to fix it. If its the pump, the water pump would need to be replaced.
As the leak does not appear to be significant, yes you could top it off and drive to the dealership.

Hi,
The mechanic have now replaced the Water Pump & new Radiator. Question is theRadiator look new from inside the engine bay but externally, where the 2 fans connected is still same. Is that the Air Conditioner/Heater Radiator?
Also mechanic spotted that the engine mount is broken. I know one mount already replace last Aug, coz when car put on reverse it vibrate tremondously, so only 1 mount replace is that the left or right mount. Now this mechanic say "Engine mounts broken". Is it that he observed one broken mount & concluded/assumed the "plural". Whats will occur if that one mount is not replaced?
Kind Regards
