I'm not sure if I have a leak or not. I don't see anything underneath the car after parking overnight. My car is randomly losing coolant. I fill the radiator up to the top and when I check the next day, it could be still close to topped off or almost empty. When it's almost empty, I get steam coming out when the temp gauge reaches halfway. My car usually reads 1/3 of the temp gauge when it's at running temp.
1. Should it be running at 1/3 gauage? 2. Any ideas why I am having random loss of coolant? |

mine does the same thing, i fill it to the top and then when i come home and leave it overnight i have coolant on my driveway, i check the level and i dont see coolant in radiator. Then i drive it to work and i never see coolant on the pavement again...
it usually runs at 40%, without aftermarket guages or covers. Maybe is the thermostat but it doesnt give me any problems, do you HAVE to fix this? |
