Where's my coolant going?

[Alexander van Gerbig]

    Thanks to all who replied.  I have that sinking feeling it's a head
gasket, but it could be a cracked something as well.  The engine only has
60k miles on it!  I do drive hard, no doubt, and the weather up here is a
bit extreme.  I would like to think that the problem is a gasket that is
"aged" and that because of the low mileage the head and block are fine,
anyone agree, disagree?  I am going to keep an eagle eye on the coolant
level and temp gauge.  Though my car never eve runs hot, never has.  It runs
a bit below the "normal" notch when cruising, but in town in traffic it gets
to the middle or a bit more, never in the HOT section.  I am considering
ordering one of those oil testing kits to look for contamination, thanks
Mike Pederson.

I'll let everyone know how it goes...  it never ends...
