Re: losing coolant and its pissing me off

you state you are a tech and very good at it. do you not have access to a cooling system pressure tester? this item will allow you to pinpont the leak. noted the year of your automobile and the mileage you may also have seepage at any of the crimped metal seams on the plastic tanks of the radiator.
it goes without saying, do not exceed the system's operating pressure limit with the tester. give the tester time and you will find the leak. good luck be patient, a good inspection mirror and a bright inspection light would be of great value with this task.
some of the items mentioned earlier in the thread are very slow leakers ie the cooling. elbows.
