Update lost a bit of coolant so had look and looks like the cut joint pipe leaking it's clip just needs tightening as I was very concerned about over tightening them but I was very nice yesterday driving it πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ
The reputable persons that did mine fitted double clips at the DIY flexi-joint, Id have opted for a full change in hindsight (especially as I had the engine out myself some months afterwards)

Stripped it all down run car up to temperature fan come in check pipes all 100% fine no leak so it must just be settling down as it’s bone dry underneath and all round engine

It was probably air in the system that had simply vented and dropped the coolant level. If you cant see any coolant leaks then it should be good! I like the gtr's but not enough seats for me!

A C7 on the other hand, now thats an upgrade I'd do!!
