And then there was Coolant.

[Lake]

okay bare with me.

I was driving down the street and i noticed my temp was higher then normal, so when i got home i looked to see how much coolant was left and there was NONE! so i filled it up and took it for a drive and when i got back it was empty again so i did this a few times and the same result.

At first i thought it was a blown head gasket because there was no leaks. but today i looked under the car and then there was coolant everywhere. So i cleaned up my drive way and jacked the car up and looked for leaks and couldn't find any. I re filled the car with coolant and let it run till it got warmed up and looked for coolant and nothing was there.

Im so confused. i have a leak that doesn't always leak.

i've and and im so confused :(


Any ideas?

Pressure test the cooling system for starters. Do it with the engine cold, and then hot if the cold test doesn't find a leak. If that doesn't find a leak, point the expansion tank overflow into a catch bottle and drive the car. If coolant winds up in the catch bottle, there is a head/gasket problem.

I once had that, mine would not leak when HOT at idle, but once i rev'd up the engine I would get a leak by the radiator connection.
