Noticed a couple of weeks back that it's leaking coolant. I've did a quick checking a few times and have yet to see any leaking coolant anywhere but I have had to top it off a few times since. I read online that most commonly on these it's the radiator hoses, water pump of the metal lines for the heater core.
Last year we suspected the heater core was leaking but just dumped some stop leak stuff in and never had a problem. I never see any puddles on the ground but the g/f said she has once when leaving work one night.
My questions are.
1. If it were a water pump, wouldn't it be a fairly large leak and easy to spot?
2. If the heater core, wouldn't the floor be soaked?
3. If it were something like a head gasket there'd be coolant in the oil or it would smoke a lot, right? It does neither.
Shit could have one this while it was warm instead of when winter hit lol. This thing has to last until tax time. Then it's to the crusher lol
