Coolant reservoir...
 
Im running a 13bt and after some thought...found that I refill the coolant reservoir often. There are no noticealbe leak's in or around the engine area, but im just curious to know if anyone else expriences this or if it is completely normal???

Thx for any info guys....

mine was leaking at the nipple on the back of the waterpump housing. i couldnt see any leaks or anything but kept refilling it from the thermostat neck. after taking the UIM off, i was able to find and fix the leak.

on a side note...are you still selling those bbs wheels?

Cool man...thx. I guess I'll just keep refilling as I have been, or when I have some time, remove the UIM if needed and check around there as well. Stay tuned...

Lol, umm, good question....I think Im going to be keeping the BBS's for right now. Plans for next year do call for another set of wheels....If ever I do sell these, I'll be sure to let you know.

Check for a pinhole leak in the hose running to the reservoir.

just let em go man... you know you wanna rock some wheels with some mad lippage. :gwink:

87 t-66's hungry for some meshies. :icon16:



but to keep on topic, i always did wonder why you keep filling up that resevoir... :scratch:

Haha, it's cool. I love my meshies and it would be hard to sell em...but I know if I do let them go...Id like for them to be put on a clean Mazda. BBS and Mazda = win.

Yeah man, this constant refilling has me worried :( I hate thinking that my motor might be drinking up all this coolant and giving me little if any signs of a leak. She does smoke every once and a while...but only when I really get on it while staying in one gear for up to 5 or 6k. Other than that, she really does'nt smoke.
