If you are referring to antifreeze loss in an early Ford Focus, I can tell you that this is typical. The thermostat housing mounted to the engine block is plastic and is notorious for warping and developing a leak. The only way to fix this is R&R the housing. I recommend an aluminum one that is less prone to warping in the future.
