Engine Cooling problem
2001 Ford Focus 4 cyl Automatic 135000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicle is leaking anti freeze. I used Bar's Stop Leak on it yesterday, but the leak is still there. The resevoir is on the passenger side of the engine compartment but the leak under the car appears to be under the drivers side. Can you help?

Hi there,

You will have to get the cooling system pressure tested, this will help locate the leak, often these stop leaks do more harm than good so always repair rather than stop up... get the system checked before you start to have overheating problems.
