Recently steam cleaned engine bay??
Well the garage told me it was the core plugs in the cylinder head were leaking, I am wondering why they failed, if indeed they had failed, I wish I had my own workshop, I do not trust garages at all.
I asked them to keep the old parts and when I turned up after they kept the car for a day and a frickin' half they said oh no sorry we threw them away.
Sounds like a pro con-trick to me, dispose of the evidence.
This is a main ford dealer as well.
On the 1.8 there are *NO* core plugs in the cylinder head valley!! Your garage is lying.
On the 1.6 there are, and a valley full of antifreeze mixture is fairly common-ish.
