[V8] Trouble finding a coolant leak

[Dave Head]

Sure - but the 3 main places you will lose coolant are
1. Reservoir - cracked outlet neck on the bottom (most likely)
2. Bad upper hose - pinhole leak at one of the bends a few inches from 
where they enter the head
3. Bad heater hoses

With it heated up, is it maintaining pressure?
Look at the inner fender liner behind and below the reservoir - and 
whiteish streaking on the plastic?
