Where exactly is the water leaking from?? You say it's coming from the engine but where on the engine? If the coolant is low then it will send the temperature gauge to hot, what temperatrure was it reading? I think that the oil level being low is probably nothing to do with the water leaking, it's just a coincidence, as you say, you hadn't checked it for a while. How low on the dip stick was it?? I shouldn't think that it's caused any engine damage if it was running fine before you parked it. What's the oil pressure like?.....Cheers....nige
nige its not leaking from the radiator its from the actual engine - from a seam where the top and bottom of the engine join (sorry can't be more accurate)
temp was very high when i checked
oil not empty - just below the min mark
was running fine when i parked it, started up fine when i brought it out of the garage and was idling fine on the drive before i shut it off.
dunno about oil pressure - if anyone can come have a look there will be lots of free tea/coffee and a bit of petrol £ to boot.
cheers
