Every three weeks or so I am having to top up the coolant resevoir tank as it keeps dropping from the max down to the min mark
I used to think maybe the coolant mix was effected as I was just putting in water to top it up so thought it might be evaporating but i had new coolant put in and its still happening
So its losing around a pint of water every 2 -3 weeks, I can't really see any coolant leaks when its left parked up and I move the car, it looks a bit wet on the drivers side plactic guard near the rad maybe it is leaking that slowly that I am not noticing the leak as its 1 pint over about 3 weeks which isnt a lot and its a long time, i do have a few spots under the car but I think thats oil.
Ive worried about head gasket but the exhaust only smokes when its first started an its cold, once its warmed up it doesnt smoke on idle or driving, unless its particularly cold
Do I have reason to be concerned, what else should I check. I'm thinking about getting some radweld and putting in more coolant rather than water this time?
