[s-cars] Coolant Leak

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

Look for any plastic bits in the cooling system.  I would be willing to bet
that one of these has developed a very small crack and that is where your
drip is coming from.  I recently had one of those add-in prestone flush
things bust on one of my cars...very slight leak for a long time and then a
little more....I started poking around in the area and just by squeezing on
the plastic item it opened up the crack enough that it started gushing.

Is there a black light visible dye that is safe to put in the cooling
system of these cars?  I have a very slow leak somewhere in the cooling
system.  It takes a few thousand miles for the level in the reservoir to
drop to the point that the dash alarm starts beeping when I go around
corners.  I can see a drip here and there when I am driving the car
daily.  If I leave the car parked for weeks I can see a spot of wet
pavement under it where it is collecting, but I cannot for the life of
me locate the source of the drip under the hood.
