i have always had the blue coolant in mine, if i change to the pink do i need to flush the system or can i just drain it ? as i know the colours shouldnt be mixed.

G12+ can be mixed with G11 and G12. But you cant mix G11 and G12. Hope this helps.

i am starting to think that the coolant is leaking from the car somewhere, two small wet patches occasionally left at front bumper after driving and coolant bottle seems to drop quickly, however engine temp seems to maintain itself around 80, could this be an expensive problem?

could be leaking from the thermostat housing, or simply a hose needs tightening up!
