Re: dissapearing coolant. Help please

An easy way to tell if coolant is getting into the oil is to pull the dip stick out and taste the oil (just taste a drop, dont drink it).

Even a little bit of coolant in the oil will make it taste sweet. It wont hurt you, I have been doing it for years. It also gives you a reason to have an adult beverage afterwards to get rid of the oil taste.
