EscortNreg Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 yeah, seems like it mate If i remember correctly, thats just an air intake pipe... If you have water in there you have big problems lol. Its more that likely the water has been squirted onto there, my giess would either be a split rad pipe (the thick one from the rad to front of the engine) or the circulater pipe (from the top of the water bottle to the front of the engine) have a quck look and see if the pipe that comes from the top of the water bottle is still attached to the engine, mine came off once and soaked the engine bay.
