Coolant Reservoir Replacement Pipe? Ford fiesta

Options
Hi,

I am not sure if i am posting this in the right place or not. So feel free to move it if it is in the wrong place.

I have been slowing loosing coolant and i think that i may have pin pointed the area where the coolant has been leaking from, with a little help. The car is a ford fiesta 2003

i have attached the picture (from google). The leak is coming from the bottom left hand bit. My question is how do i go about repairing this or does anyone know where i am able to get a new pipe from

Sorry i am a little bit clueless about cars so any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks :)

    Drain the coolant down and remove the tank, Inspect the tank for cracks and the inspect the pipe afterwards.

    Replace the faulty items, Should be able to do it in less than hour with fairly basic tools.

    That's the reason you need to take it to a local mechanic :D

    Ask your friends to recommend a reputable one if you don't know one.
