I'm experiencing dissapearing coolant. Here's the scenario: I fill the
cooling system, bleed everything I can and close it up. Then I drive
about ten or fifteen miles, pretty heavy traffic and hills, and the
blinking red light comes on. The coolant tank has dropped by two-thirds.
I check the overflow tank, thinking the coolant cap is faulty, but
nothing there. I've checked all the coolant pipes, head gaskets and
connections for leaks. There are none visible. The only place I see
water/coolant is a fine oily mist out the tailpipe. This has happened
for a while, but is now getting worse. What's up?
