i have a mark 1 p reg punto,the other day the red warning light for the temp came on,so i quickly stopped the fan kicked in got some water and poured it into the coolant tank which was below min.the car got me home about 12 miles,i turned off the car and checked it 2 hours later it had lost all the water which i had put in,so i topped it up and tootled around town did about 5 miles stoping and starting and the light did not come on.checked it again hours later and it had lost a bit but not alot,so i topped it up again and drove around locally,now even after 3 hours of not bieng run when you open the filler cap the water shoots out like it is still under pressure,the engine gets hot after about 5 mins,there is water in the rad i bled it but no water comes out of the bleed behind the engine,please can anyone help as i am completely useless when it comes to cars thanks
