Coolant leak + Power Steering issue.

[MrMarlow]

Hey Guys,

I have a couple issues I was hoping someone could give some insight on.

Coolant Leak

I have a coolant leak from the right side of the engine block. If I push down on the top of the clip where it's leaking from, it stops.

Does anybody know if this points to more serious issues, or it's just a case of replacing the bit of piping that holds the clip on?

Pictures of this are attached.

Not sure if it's related, but I have spotted the thick pipe coming out the front of that section, sometimes is pulled inwards, and not round as it should be.

Power Steering

Someone come to view it today and while stationary, the steering is quite stiff, leading me (and the person viewing it) to believe it's something to do with the power steering. He's still interested to be fair, but both decided this needs looking at first.

Not sure if I would have a code or not, but my engine management light isn't on, if that helps track this down.

Unsure of power steering fluid level because I can't find it - if it was low, would they not give me a light though?

Probably worthy of note, since getting the insignia 2 weeks ago, the veccy hasn't really moved - could that have something to do with it?

------------------------

Kind of need to resolve these 2 issues as cheap as possible as I had to put a lump sum down on my insignia, so I'm broke until the end of the month.

Any suggestions on any of this, anyone?
