|

|
anyone know how to do this? my car seems to be losing coolant based on the reservoir. probably have to add coolant about every 2 months. no visible leaks and i dont see white smoke coming out from my exhaust so i dont think its burning coolant (hopefully).
any ideas what the problem could be? It might be air bubble in the system but the car doesnt seem to be over heating. Really need to get it check because i dont want to have to deal with a broken engine because of this coolant issue. any help is appreciated. THANKS! |

Could be that your reservoir might be cracked. Are you actually losing coolant in the radiator? Fill the radiator instead of the reservoir and check if youre losing any. Also possible areas are heater hoses or coolant sensors
