Hello everyone I've bought Grande Punto couple of months ago and I've just notice today that a rubber under a bonet is mealting ? (not sure if it's actually melting) also I've notice that the antifreeze level is on min and that the pipes from the antifreeze rezervuar goes throught the rubber :/ but when I have touched the pipes around the rubber they were hot but it wasn't burning. Also the weather was hot and my car was in a sun but I don't think it will melt the rubber. Did anyone had the same problem or know whay is this happening I a have attached a photo of it as don't know if my post make any sense.

Rubber melting HELP !
Hi,
it's probably just getting damp from the minor leak..
( hoses can "melt" - but that's usually through oil contamination.)
a low coolant level is a major concern - it could potentially damage the engine.
have a good look to see if there are other areas that look in a similar state,

Thank you ! Getting my coolant changed tomorrow althrougth it is little bit over the minimum line so I thought it is fine. Have checked all the areas I could get to and all seems fine. Not sure where it could be laking from as the rubber Is on the back going in to the dash and I've done full service not that long ago no leaks apart slight gearbox leak (it's sorted now) were found or maby the mechanic didn't checked the car properly.
