Water leaking from a Ka - what's the cost?

My daughters Ford Ka is leaking water. She isn't sure as to the cause and thinks it could be the hose but conversely it could be the radiator. What cost is she looking at to replace or repair?

Answered by Honest John
Anything from £20 for a new hose + fitting to maybe £150 for a new radiator + fitting + coolant.
