Car: Vauxhall Omega

The coolant warning light came on. As I topped up the coolant it was poring out of the bottom of the engine in what looked like two places ?

Sounds like it could be the heater bypass valve or one of the pipes/joints .

Water tends to flow along the easiest path, so what may look like a leak in one place, the ACTUAL leak could be somewhere else, so just make sure you find the source.

Get yourself a small extendable inspection mirror and a torch and have a look around
