Are you sure it is anti-freeze? It is common that the condensor down tube/drain can become clogged, and will produce a similar problem. It will usually be on the passenger side. It is more common in the disco. check to see if there is color in the liquid, smell. I would be surprised if it had either. if you do have coolant leaking out it will more than likely be from the heater core. The a/c connection you mentioned leads me to the drain. hope it helps. gotta love a rover. duboff

Yeah I'm positive its anti-freeze. I figured out it leaks without the a/c also. The a/c was just heating the engine faster. Which also brought to my attention that it only leaks when the engine is really hot. If I just take a trip down the street and back I get no leaks. I'm guessing a small crack in the radiator. I'm probably going to take it in for a pressure test. Thanks.

sounds like a good direction. gotta love a rover. Try to get them to use the dye to trace where you are loosing the coolant. duboff

where is it that you are getting the leak , is it on the running board? or on the passenger side carpet?

if its on the running board or the passenger side carpet, the O-rings to the heater core has to be replace.
