Coolant Loss

What is your question?

I am loosing coolant. I cannot visually see any signs of a leak. The coolant loss takes a long time to show up in the resevoir. The radiator itself is always full. Is the Engine burning it? (small internal leak?)

first starting in the morning, you sure see blue white smoke come out the tail pipe if internaal leak, any shop can test for you.

thanks for the insight. I guess it has been hard to tell since it has been quite cold and rainy as late. In the winter, it made no sense to check the exhaust because it would be white steam looking anyways. I will check tommorrow morning. Thank you very much.

I too am having the same issue. i had the cylinder head changed and it appeared that this corrected the problem. Now a year later it is doing it again?????

I have been having the same issue. Replaced the head gasket and still leaking. Novissible sign. Pressure checked everything and no signs of leak. Put dye in and found very very tiny amount of coolant on the radiator. Not enough to be the issue I am having. replacing the radiator now
