Head gasket has been checked. No CO2 in the coolant. Engine runs like day one. No milky oil. No smell of coolant, no smoke. Passed a pressure test. Radiator fan works fine. Shop can only find air in the system. Thermostat has been changed. Hoses have been checked I can’t find anything.
Past history: 6 months ago. Pulled into my parking spot. Hoses that connect to coolant reservoir, to radiator and engine. One blew. Replaced it. Did fine after. Rare occasion after, Engine kept saying it was over heating and to pull over immediately. I did. Happened 3 times. This is around the time I started losing coolant with no visible leaks. Decided to replace thermostat, kept up on refilling coolant. Never happened again because I’ve been checking every few days, and replacing lost coolant every few days.. I am going through a gallon of coolant roughly every 2 to 3 weeks. Will note, once cooled down, when I take the cap off to refill, whatever is in my reservoir quickly drops to empty.
