the battery and you're leak have no connection to each other the battery may be low try charging it,if it doesn't work check battery fluid level they may be low.
You can get a battery test at places like halfords,if not it's time for a battery change!
The fan could drain the battery, but it would take a long time. Another thing is you should never put cold water into a hot engine.

Why Richie. What would that do?

I went back to check on the car. It was on doulble yellow's. It started. ????????
Have you not got that leak sorted out yet ? How many eggs did you put in it ?

I didn't put any in. My freinds getting me some rad seal or something or other.
I bet the radseal won't work ummmm.

If you put cold water in a hot engine that has very little water in it you would have the same effect as putting a hot pyrex dish into cold water both the engine and the dish would crack!

The battery and the leak could have a very big connection Manu, It's called the accesories belt.

If this is broken the water pump will not work causing the coolant to boil and be forced out also the battery will not get any charge causing a flat battery.
