Hi all,

Today I noticed a leak underneath my car (53 mk1) which was pink in colour so popped the bonnet and noticed that my engine coolant/anti freeze levels have dropped to the min level mark (which I know was at just under the max mark this morning) so did some investigating under the car and im no technical whizz but think I found the problem.

Please look at the photo's, am I missing something but is there a bolt missing??

I wiped off the residue liquid and dried the area around and under the area then took the car for a drive (to pick up some replacement coolant) and when I came back the area was still dry but when I left the car parked for a while liquid started to seep from where there should be a bolt??

Can some please confirm my suspicions or is there something else going on here? what is this part number for the bolt and where can I get one from?

Any help or advise would be most welcome, thanks in advance guys.

yes there is a bolt missing looks like the coolant
is leak around were that bolt should be :)

Thanks dezwez, without me taking the other bolt out would you know what type/size it would be?

Cheers

give ford your reg and show them the picture and where it is they will be able to give you the right bolt

ok, will do.

Thanks again.

looks like a thermostat housing or something similar by just guessing from the picture, but ford will be able to give you the actual bolt as derek said

Cheers guys, popped down today and their parts counter are closed on Sundays...typical!

try tomorrow never open on Sundays make to much all week :)
