What is it, sorry no pics yet.←Check your coolant level.Sounds like you may have a leak.Even though it's green normallywhen it dries it leaves a whitish powder stain.A pic would help.

The last time the clowns changed my radiator over it looked like a magpie was trapped in the engine bay and crapped itself everywhere.I missed out on the rust - touch wood though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FORDTECH Member 383 Member For: 21y 8m 27d Location: On the edge Posted 29/05/06 10:00 AM Share Posted 29/05/06 10:00 AM Have you washed you engine recently??Whatever it is there seems to be evidence around your power steering reservoir cap that there has been something pooled up around it.Also if you look at the inlet manifold all the white spots indicate something has been sitting on it as well.Your coolant level looks fine though so it's hard to say what it could be.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 12d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 29/05/06 10:08 AM Share Posted 29/05/06 10:08 AM I would say the water pump O ring is gone and coolant is flicking up and onto the rocker cover. Is the underside of the bonnet stained as well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temp runs at about 11 to 11.30 at its hottest which is after about 10 min driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
