What do you think?
I have had coolant problems for a couple of days. I pressure tested the system and found a leak, that was where all of my coolant was going. I then proceeded to take the car out for a drive after burping the system a few times. Then I drove the car a few times and after I returned ten minutes later I would have to top it off until I got all of the air bubbles out. The next time I drove and everything was fine, pulled into my driveway and the coolant went into the overflow and shot out on the ground. Filled the coolant neck back up and took it out for another 10 minute ride, got back and checked the coolant level and it was perfect right at the top. Took it out again on the same route and same speed and car stayed at a good temp, and again like two times before the coolant poored into the overflow and onto the driveway. The coolant buzzer came on for about a minute and the temp went up a litttle, and then the coolant buzzer went off. So I just checked the coolant level in the filler neck and it is just about perfect,WTF? It can't be the damn seals because the oil has absolutely no coolant, there has never been one puff of smoke out of the car and it starts and idles beautifully every time with ease. The only thing I can think is that maybe the thermostat is getting stuck and sending the coolant into the overflow(making my coolant go down and sending the buzzer on) and then it got un-stuck and sent it back into the motor to cool it down. That and maybe the water pump. What do you think?
