Well, the saga continues.... Car in the garage, and they can't suss out where the leak is coming from. Been told it'll cost £140 just to strip the engine and locate the leak.

Bank balance - drip drip drip.......

    Power steering leaking is a very common problem on the mk2 focus. My brother had to change the pipe twice.

    I had this dripping from the pump. After the pump was replaced the radiator broke shortly after.

I have no fluid loss now tho but I feel your pain!!! I actually wonder sometimes if it's better to use public transport LOL
