DORKO Member 340 Member For: 17y 9m 25d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 16/09/07 07:40 AM Share Posted 16/09/07 07:40 AM Well today I opened up the bonnet to put some water in the windscreen thingy. I notice some pink stuff coming out of this thing below.Should I be concern? Its not leaking... its dry. I took my ute for a spin and trashed it to see if it would leak, but nothing changed. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Dorko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry It's Definately your coolant which is leaking from the Thermostat HSNG. I had the same white spots under my raditaor a while back and Ford eventually found out that the Coolant was leaking from my Radiator. Luckily for me, They replaced this under warranty including the O ring from the Thermo HSNG and I've never had a prob since.

That's what I did while awaiting my appointment with Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
