Re: Where is the coolant going?

If it is leaking it is going someplace.
How many qts in 2 weeks?
Do you ever smell coolant?
Any engine smoke or coolant smell out tail pipe?
Any engine overheating or engine miss at start up.

For the hard to find leaks they make a engine coolant dye and light test kit to put in coolant and will show up where it is leaking.
Also will show if coolant getting into oil.

Add dye and get a raiditor pressure tester.
Pump up pressure to your rad cap rating and check cold and warm and a little warmer and hot.
Also check carpet inside for colant leak from heater core.
Put the light on everything and see where it is leaking.

Always look under hoses and everything.
Check raidiator and hoses and heater hoses and fittings and all over engiine under side front and rear and water pump and weep hole.

Let us know what you find.
