Leaking coolant from ford focus

tony3619

The coolant on my ford focus keeps emptying and I see a puddle underneath the car. I've got a photo from Underneath and can see where it's leaking/cracked. 

Any clues? 

Cheers

It's leaking!

The most common reasons a Ford Focus has a coolant leak are loose hose connections, a broken radiator, or a failed water pump.

I feel it could be the radiator as when it started happening I kept getting a "reduced power to cool engine" message. 

Can this be fixed? Or is it just a replacement?

After checking hoses, no harm in emptying a can of Radweld into the radiator and seeing if that cures the leak. Some radiators can be repaired at specialists.

When my last Focus was leaking it was the radiator. There was often a puddle on the floor when I parked up.
