missing coolant???
every 200 miles i drive..i always check my coolant level and i always seem to be missing about 10 oz. of coolant..
the car runs like normal..temps are always normal
i still have the stock ast...
any advice??

 

Sounds like you are either leaking coolant or burning it. Dont know where else it could go.

 

When you start the car in the morninga re you seeing smoke? If so what color and for how long does it last?

 

when i start the car in the morning i don't get any smoke...no color
im always check for leakage but i don't see a puddle in the morning either...
maybe evaporation???

 

With the car cold, remove both the rad caps <the AST and the fill cap on the water neck> and let the car idle for 15 minutes or so until the thermostat opens, you should see the water level shift when this happens. If you get alot of bubbling then you've tossed a coolant O-ring. You could also just take it to a shop and have an exhaust gas sniffer used on the coolant or have the system pressure tested. Otherwise you're leaking it out somewhere, the pressure test would probably make it much easier to pinpoint where the leak is.

 

check the upper coolant line that feeds both turbos. the rubber tends to leak unnoticeably

 

thanks ill do both and see whats up
