I have a 2004 Focus ST170 which has developed a leak from under the offside (drivers side) headlight. I cannot locate where it is coming from. If any one has any ideas as what this can be, all suggestions are welcome. Thank You.

Do you have xenon headlights?

Could be the washers.

Palethorpe01

Yes I have xenon headlights and that was I first guess, but the leak gets worse when the engine is warm and not used the washer jets. This got me thinking that it may be a coolant leak but the liquid leaking isn't pink.

if its clean water it has to washer related, but if heat related then it has to be cooling system

Headlight fluid leaking out?

Palethorpe01

It isn't condensation from the a/c as its a continuous drip. Its leaking from directly beneath the headlight in front if the a/c canister. Are there any coolant hoses than run under the headlights?

Booooo i was wrong.

Is the level going down in any of the reservoirs? Fill the washers to the brim and see if the level drops.

Palethorpe01

Thanks for the replies guys. It's definitely the headlight washer pipe that has split. Does anyone know what the diameter the pipe is? Thinking of replacing just the split section instead off replacing the entire loom.
