Hi, anyone out there got anyidea what sits directly infront of the driver side, outside the car, just under the drainage area for the water that is under pressure of some sort. During a drive today i noticed a hissing sound that got louder the more faster i went and when i stopped it continued for a short while, for a sec i thought i had a puncture.
anyone got any ideas

Are you losing any water?
Any steam under the bonnet?
Loose jubilee clip, split hose, radiator cap loose, header tank cap loose?
