Re: The Case of the Missing Anti-Freeze

OK, so obvious mechanical problem. But, no contamination of oil or coolant detected, so probably leaking.

Now, is there a way to "pressure test" system to find the leak? Or should I just start taking the car apart and change gaskets, hoses, radiator etc. until it stops?

Maybe I will drain the system, pressurize it with natural gas then use the match test. (Sorry just being sarcastic)

Well at least I have some things to think about. Keep the ideas coming!

Nope. I had a compression test done myself and nothing came up as bad. I was having the same problem as you.

Know what we had to do? Rip off the top half of the engine and replace the intake manifold gaskets. Problem solved.

Intake manifold gasket

Yeah this is the problem most likely. My car was losing coolant as well, its kind of a pain to change but thats most likely the problem.
