[V6-12v] Coolant Loss (now found)

[Dan Cooke]

I have had a slow leak in my coolant system
and remember several others who have had the
same problem.   Well, the source of my coolant
loss has been the overflow tank.  The plastic
nipple on the top where a small hose connects
had a small crack where it enters the tank.
The crack was on the bottom side, so it always
sprayed downwards at high temps/press.

I have always suspected the heater core as
others have.  Anyways, FWIW, check your overflow
tank next time.
