I have just acquired a couple of months ago a Laguna. All was well until I went to do some routine stuff like top up the water etc before going on a journey and the first thing I noticed was that the water resevoir is rusty coloured. I topped up the water and ever since I released the pressure I have had a leak. Its not huge and my engine is not overheating at all but after the car has been stood there is a rusty coloured water stain under it just in front of the driver side ie tank is right, stain is left (looking from front of car)!
This never happened until I had to undo the reservoirs' presurised cap and filled it up. It is not over the max, not overheating and not really affecting the car that I can tell...
Any idea?

Hi, you are not alone.
I got a 2.0 (8v) RXE auto a couple of months ago, drained al the rusty antifreeze out, flushed the whole system till clear water came out, re-filled with fresh anti-freeze/ clean water & now it seems to disappear without trace !!!!!
