I had an experience with my 1960 Vauxhall Victor Deluxe. It
was leaking coolant at an increasing rate and I couldn't figure
out where it was coming from. Turned out it was the coolant
drainpipe. The old 1507 cc 4-cylinder engines had this copper
pipe going from the block to a draincock coming out close to
the radiator. This copper pipe had develped a stress crack
close to where it was held by a support. Very difficult to
trace!
