I have a 2003 (52 reg) Ford Fiesta 1.4 Zetec. It is running ok, with the odd drop in revs when ticking over, but over the past 2 months has lost liquid from the cooling system somewhere. I noticed this as there was a large wet patch on the floor under the car (the liquid is orange) and the level in the plastic container (where you 'top up') had dropped to about 1 and a half inches below the minimum line.
This has happened twice now in the past 8 or so weeks.
Also, on the underside of the bonnet, there appears to be a number of 'splodges', as if something is bursting out and hitting the bonnet. This may or may not be connected with the apparent 'leak'.
As I said, the car seems to be running ok regardless of this recurrent problem. Anyone have any ideas as to cause and/or remedy?
