Coolant leak

Hi all

i bought my 15 plate Ford Fiesta titanium Econetic 1.6 Diesel in January and I noticed on Sunday I’ve got a coolant leak. I’ve checked my oil and it’s totally fine which hopefully rules out it being the head gasket. There’s also no sign of leaks under my car on the road but there is a sign of it on the legdfe of my gearbox (my boyfriend thinks the gearbox anyway)! 

Its booked in to the garage on Monday to be looked at but worried I’ll be fobbed off and the leak not fixed. 

Any ideas? 

 

Thanks in advance.

    On my previous 1.6 diesel fiesta it started leaking coolant from the thermostat cover.  the thermostat cover on mine was black plastic and is situated about where the left hand edge of the yellow circle is in your pic.  It started doing it when it was less than 2 years old. It was a 2007 car but I suspect the part is the same on yours (although I know yours will be 1560cc 8 valve single cam engine whereas mine was 1560cc 16 valve twin cam .
