My driving style changed a lot after I bought a scanguage. I had no idea how hot it was getting in 6th - it's a lot easier to drive more sympathetically when you have a temperature gauge that actually gives you useful information, unlike the standard gauge which just sits in the middle the whole time. The scangauge also saved me when all my coolant got pumped out thanks to a pipe coming off.

I’ve had similar with waterpump leakage, always pays to have a quick look on the floor if you park in a car park if it’s tarmac or concrete.
Do that periodically and underneath, you can often start to notice any minor oil or fluid leaks. NEVER SURRENDER! ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧
