Kia Picanto - Kia picanto automatic - Bobbs

My car has a leak, i drove it today about 50 miles and noticed it has a leak- partner thinks its air con as it is water and i had the heating on but i dont know. When i stopped there was a good stream of water coming out from passenger front side, no warning lights wtc have come on. I have noticed when looking at engine that i have no coolant but i have never topped this up so hard to
Know if that has caused the leak or ive juat run out

If it’s cold clear water , then it’s not coolant . Possibly Aircon condensate. After a 50 mile drive, if it’s coolant , it’ll be warm and either a pink or blue colour. Get the levels checked with engine cold
