I have the same situation, I am loosing all of the coolant in my reserve just about every 4 days. I am adding coolant every day. I have already had several hoses replaced and still same problem. Even with a pressure test, 2 seperate mechanics cant find the cause. Where else should I have them look. Thank you

Hello

I have had the same problem
At the end it was loose cylinder liners and distorted cylinder head cover
Engine block, liners and cylinder cover got skimed and all is back to normal
Ask your mechanic to use exhaust gas leak detector fluid in cooling water
That's how I found it
Don't wait to long and you may save your engine

Good luck

Best regards

Mirekl

Needs a motor due to cylinder sleeve seepage, (internal coolant leak).
