How much lost water = bad seals?
I seem to loose about 6 ounces of water every 300-500 miles. This started when I took the car to the track this summer and it got quite hot(I actualy saw the stock needle move). At the same time, before I went to the track I emptied some antifreeze out and put water in to get a 25/75 ratio, so im not sure if I have air in the system and it is coming to the surface or what. I have no AST. Also I have pleny in the overflow, shouldnt that go into the radiator? What do you think?

Now it's 8 oz. every 50 miles. It's been doing that for the last 3 mos. Car runs great though. Pulled a Z28 SS the other day.
Think of it this way: PoMan Water Injection- why spend $400 for Aquamist when it's free?
