Howdy everyone. Brand new to the site and not very knowledgeable when it comes to cars. Looking for an answer to my dilemma.
Driving the other day and I had to brake reasonably firmly at a set of lights. On takeoff I heard an increasingly loud knocking from the front left of the car as if something was loose there. I pulled over to see a steady stream of brownish water pooling into the gutter. I filled the overflow tank but it just leaked out. I took the cap off and filled the radiator and this seems to be staying in the radiator as the car is not overheating at all and I drove a lot yesterday by necessity.
It's fair to say I'm confused. Is this something I should look into immediately? What the hell happened and why is the car running fine now? I'll send a photo ASAP.
