Stop Light And Redlight On Temp Gauge

[E_G_R]

Hi,

 

Can anybody shead some light on a problem that has developed on my 52 Reg C5 HDi.

 

When i turned the ignition this morning it beeped 3 times and the stop light lit up and the red light remained on the temp guage.

 

I checked the water and this was very low. I topped it up and the warning went off but a short while into my trip the same beeps and warnings came on.

 

I checked the water level and it was down again. When i topped it up after a short while i noticed water comeing out of i pipe situatedto the right (as you look at it).

 

Is this an overflow?

 

Before i take it to agarage i'dlike to have an idea of what it could be.

 

Not driving it till i'm sure as the warning will now not go away.

 

Thanks

Worst scenario could be head gasket blowing.

Hi E_G_R,

 

Maybe you can post a picture? If you look at the box you type the reply in, just above that there are some symbols. Mouse over them, one of them allows you to insert a picture like this:

Unfortunately, the picture already needs to be on the web, but you can solve that by using Google's Picasa or something like that.

Turns out it was a thermostat or sensor that had broken off from the side of the engine
