Ford focus coolant leak

Hello,
I know this isn't really the forum for this but the coolant on my ford focus keeps emptying and I see a puddle underneath. I've got a photo fro. Underneath and can see where it's leaking/cracked.
Any clues or guesses as to what this might be?

There is a motoring section on this forum.

That looks like a hole in a floor panel, and not actually the leaking component - tho' it's hard to say. You may need to remove your grill for a proper look, or perhaps set your phone to record and lower it down slowly in front of the rad - but be aware that the fan can fire up unexpectedly.0 -
My ford used to leak coolant and it was rusted core plugs. In reality it could be anything though.tony3619 said:Hello,

The OP has said they are losing coolant so it isn't a problem with a damaged floor panel.
