ok, i dont know whats happening. im losing the coolant but its not boiling, its drinking it all, but there is no coolant smell, and it passes the bubble test. i cant sind any leaks either. where is it going?
my last engine died of coolant seal failure, and this isnt showing any of the signs, but im loosing it at a rate of about 1 gallon per tank almost. wtf?

mine turned out to be a bad water pump. the odd bit is the weep hole was dry! it had to be parked for a few days to see the drips on the ground.
proper thing to do is to pressure test. you pressurize the system and see where the leak(s) are

Well mine did... i had to suckout a Pool of Collant from under the carpet and whats worse the Collant was "Cold" so i couldn't smell it maybe beacuse it had more water mixed than Collant.
