Losing coolant
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2018 11:33 am
OK, so the car has had this problem since before I owned it, and the previous owner just used to keep topping it up, but it's bothering me, and I want to get to the bottom of it.
About three or four days after topping the coolant up, the coolant indicator in the dashboard comes on, and when I check, the coolant level has dropped again.
The engine doesn't appear to be overheating, and I've looked all over the engine, and can't find any evidence of it leaking anywhere. I've parked it on my drive after driving, and stuck a sheet of cardboard underneath it for half an hour, nothing.
I'm at a total loss! Can anyone recommend anything/anywhere to check?
Engine oil is fine by the way. No sign of water getting in.
