Anyone Know Wher Water Is Coming From?
My daughter rang to say she accidenly bumped front of car into bollard. Quite hard...
She's panicking and upset as they've just paid for new year box. She said water dripping out from under front part of car.
Any one have an idea where it's coming from?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Given that the front-most part of a car (excluding its bodywork and bumper) is its radiator, it would seem likely that the accident has either cracked the radiator or dislodged a hose fitting to it.
Fortunately radiators are among the cheapest car components there are and, in most cases, they're very easy to replace. So a new radiator isn't going to cost the earth. (If it's just a hose clip that's been dislodged, it can probably be put back in place in just a minute or two. It's the sort of job that my friendly local mechanic might well do for free).

Is there any chance that it is water dripping off the air-conditioning unit? It's fairly common in hot weather that, when you stop and turn off the engine, water in the atmosphere condenses on the air-con unit and drips onto the floor creating a stream or a puddle. It could be that your daughter hasn't noticed it before but has been scrutinising the car because of the bump.
Thank you all. I've tried to ring her but not answering. She's meeting friends and the and one knows a lot about cars so hopefully he can tell her what the problem is. She's about 35 miles from me, unfortunately.
Hope it's nothing too bad. As I said, they've just had new gear box put in. We are all supposed to go on holiday Saturday morning, and she will need car. :-(
