DUE TO THE ENGINE VIBRATION AND SHAKING, THE U-TUBE WORE THROUGH THE TUBE WALL COMPLETELY ALLOWING COOLANT TO LEAK OUT.  THE U-TUBE IS LOCATED ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE ENGINE AND RUBS ON A OIL LINE FITTING.  BASED ON AN ONLINE FORUM (LOTUSTALK) AND OTHER LOTUS ELISE/EXIGE OWNERS, THE U-TUBE RUBBING IS NOT AN ISOLATED.  APPARENTLY, SOME ELISES/EXIGES HAVE THE U-TUBE ZIP-TIED TO THE OIL LINE FITTING, BUT THE RUBBING IS STILL APPARENT AND ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A COOLANT LEAK WILL OCCUR.  MY ELISE WAS NOT ZIP-TIED, WHICH NO DOUBT ACCELERATED THE WEARING AND RESULTING LEAK.    I DECIDED TO MAKE A REPORT SINCE IT LOOKS LIKE LOTUS OWNERS ARE STILL IDENTIFYING THE RUBBING AND APPLY DO-IT-YOURSELF FIXES.  I REPAIRED MINE AT MY OWN EXPENSE AND STARTED A THREAD ON LOTUSTALK TO HELP OTHER OWNERS PROTECT THEIR CARS FROM EVER LEAKING LIKE MINES.  *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2005","productMake":"LOTUS","productModel":"ELISE","manufacturer":"Lotus Cars Limited"}]}]}
