car is a 2000 model. was a leak however pink stains where impossible to trace as engine leaks pretty much everything from everywhere =) Anyway i had a rubber tee damaged it was covered in oils and grease.i traced 2 of the 3 pipes, one comes from the reservoir (the lower thick pipe on reservoir.) the other comes from water pump and goes to radiator.

The tee was badly torn and was leaking water everywhere. Another thing is car had normal tap water and that s what i gave it, well what i give all my cars actually XD we don t need antifreeze in Malta since temperature only goes down to 6-10 deg celsius and that s worst case... I usually remove thermostat on other cars to move water fast since we have a massive amount of heat and loads of traffic, but i didn t do it on the ka, not yet at least.

Anyway i replaced the DIY tee with another one hopefully mine is stronger then that of the previous owner.



Old tee i cut below,<br/>new 1/2" metal tee with nipples above
