dissapearing coolant?

DaLe five OH! · 08-19-2007, 08:55 PM

i flushed my rad a few months ago when i changed my timing chain, and now all of the coolant is gone from the overflow tank...theres no white smoke what so ever so its not burning it...and it cant be leaking it because they would have thrown me off the track friday night when i was running, and theres no puddles when i park it and come back 20min or so later...where the heck is it goin??

It is disappearing after you refill it?

Fill it back up like Ryan said. More than likely she just finally burped all the air out of her.

I doubt it but maybe you should check the dipstick for water..If you can hear the water, that's most likely air in the system with the water. When's the last time you flushed the entire system?

i put some alumnium powder in the system and ran the heat for about 10 miles and turned it off and drove another 20, the leak stopped almost imideatly after putting it in and 2morrow we're fixing my a/c and flushing the radiator...i think there was a hole some where and if it starts to leak again(knock on wood) we're just gonna bypass it...
