Hi Guys
I drive a Ford Fiesta 2009 model. I have a water leak at the pipe that is connected from the radiator to the water bottle, see attached pics The water leaks whenever the car is parked. Every morning I have to top up about a mug of water in the bottle.
The other problem I have now is that I'm starting to hear a squeaky noise coming from the engine.
Any ideas what the problem could be?

Re: Water Leak
Try replacing the hose clip, when you do check that pipe is not damaged at all.
Could you post a video of the noise?

Thank you @jam_rs for the reply

Re: Water Leak
Looks like that pipe has been bodged up before as my pipe has no hose clips on it.
I'd buy a new pipe from Ford.
Squeaking noise will be coolant trapped on auxiliary belt.

Re: Water Leak
yup, agreed, bodged it should be a solid continuous pipe with quick release at the end...£20 or there abouts, common problem
