I developed a small coolant leak that I have finally tracked down (I think) to the hose from the bottom of the radiator to the water pump, at the pump. The clamp was/is tight, but I hammered down on it some more. I had just replaced my water pump and flange a couple weeks ago so I was afraid I had an o'ring leaking, but I tried everything I could think of the see where the leak was coming from in that area. I finally put the car back in service mode and ended up unhooking upper radiator hose and swiveling the radiator out from the surround so I could finally see directly into the water pump/flange area....dry as a bone. With a small inspection mirror and flashlight I finally noticed some wetness on the bottom side of the hose end. Tightened the hose clamp some more and put everything back together, crap!! A cheapy borescope would be a great tool to have for working on a mini where you can see into very tight places without having to disassemble your car! Gonna get me one!

they have cheap ones that work with a smart phone, they do I don't!

 

I bought a USB cam on the end of a long wire. Stick it into my laptop, tape it to a stick and fish it where I need it. The focus isn't adjustable and the image isn't great but for $20 I can't complain! :-)
