Hi,
i bought my daughter a uk ford fiesta Lx 1.25 zetec manual car 1997 (r reg),88,000 miles on clock,
it keeps losing water,i cannot find any external leaks,i have noticed some rusty coloured dried water marking on the low rightside of the engine bay as you look from the bonnet,but i have changed the top rad hose which connects to the engine in this area which may have caused this,i have also replaced the reservoir cap,still no good,im needing to top up the coolant reservoir every day from min to max.sometimes quite a bit more,The oil seems fine,the car runs lovely,no overheating,any ideas,
thanks,
hoops.

Is the radiator leaking at one of the tanks/seams?
