STOP DRIVING THIS BAJA NOW. Unless you want to replace the engine. Whatever it costs to find the coolant leak doesn't matter. UNLESS YOU WANT TO REPLACE THE ENGINE!!

It is easy to damage the head gaskets on these engines. I just did head gaskets on one this week and we see them blow head gaskets leak under the cylinder head gaskets frequently. Pressure testing the cooling system will locate the leak most shops will charge about $60. It iwll locate the leak if is external, radiator, hoses water pump ect....
If you are still experiencing cooling system problems or overheating have a "block check" done it is a quick and inexpensive test to look for the precence of carbon Monoxide in the cooling system which would only be present if the head gaskets are damaged but if you attend to the problem now it is probably only a hose of radiator that has damage.
