Oil leak below radiatior
I spotted a small oil stain on the garage floor. The oil comes down from above and seems to fall on the driver's side steering ball joint where it drips off. It is quite clear in colour and doesn't seem to be engine oil. It's forward of parts containing oil. 2008 TDCI Puma. Any ideas?

Power steering i bet

check the reservoir - sometimes the pipe clip needs tightening

the other one that was an issue years ago was brake system related and that was on the left side front/mid engine if i remember all those years ago - but it was a recall job Mike

As above, power steering - be careful as the fluid reacts with the rubber ball joint cover and will make it fail.
