Loosing coolant somewhere...

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Well i was changing my headlight bulbs today, and i happened to glance at the coolant resevoir. Well wouldn't you know it, its almost empty!  If you remember, i just changed my heatercore not 2 weeks ago, at which time i burped the system, as per Capt's tutorial (i think it was capt's anyways), and topped the res off to the FULL mark.  I have no idea where it would be leaking from, as i park in the driveway, and its been wet all week.  I already checked the hose connections going to the heater core, and they are dry/dont look like coolant has been leaking out there.  Where else should i check?

	Refill it again, and drive it for another week. See if the level changes. There might have been a few small pockets of air working there way out. Plus what percent antifreeze did you put in. It can evaporate if you used plain water.
