2004 Chevy Matiz water leaks when engine hot Sign In

Hello,
Having problems with my Chevy Matiz 0.8 L. I have had water hose, water pump, timing belt replaced recently. But after a few days, water has again regularly started to leak when car has been driven for a few kilometers. I thought it had to do with the thermostat gasket which might leak when it opens after water has gained required temperature. Had this idea after reading from a service manual. Kindly advise.

Thanks,

You need to pressure test the cooling system to determine where the leak is.

Okay thanks Smile, but do you think gasket may be the issue as one mechanic suggested, although there is no oil in surge tank. Wonder what may be the other symptoms.
