Hi guys,

I am having major problems with a water leak on my 2.5 V6 petrol Rover 75 which has done 99k miles...and I bought second and last October 2016.
I recently replace a Oil Cooler because after passing the MOT in May the advise was to check a little Oil Leak...after changing The Oil Cooler I had to replace a broken pipe for a small leak of water ..Now every time that I take the car for a small trip 10 - 15 miles the system is losing over a pint of water and if I leave the car the day after I have completely the water tank empty! The same mechanic told me that he didn't see any external signs of water leaks, and no sign of water in the engine oil...the pressure is ok, he told me that he don't want anymore see this car because he told me that Rover are NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- cars and suggested me to sell it! I was in Birmingham from London without any problem before...problems started only when I putted his hand in my car.
I'm beginning to suspect the water pump gland might be leaking, but the absence of any external leaks is baffling me.
Anybody got any ideas on this one?
