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. :smile:

    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.

    My ford used to leak coolant and it was rusted core plugs. In reality it could be anything though.

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