VR6Pete 1,455 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 hi mate, check around your thermostat housing... coolant should be quite easy to spot as it will be dry pink stains around the area...Pete Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 If you can't see any obvious leaks after looking around the thermostat I would get a compression test done to show up any possible problems with your head gasket as that can sometimes be a cause of mysterious coolant loss.
