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.

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.
