Did you have a machine shop check the heads? Sounds like there might be a crack in one if it's still burning coolant.

How many miles on the engine, did you use a new t/stat as well as new head bolts?
Where is it leaking from, have you done a coolant pressure test yet and did you or a shop do the work?

Smile burning coolant

Thanks Mike, I asked LR if they check or replaced the t-tat and they said no and when they cheched they said that I Had a leak going to the t-tat and that i need a new one. Also thanks for telling me about the little fan thats next to the steering wheel on the dash board cause they checked the noise and showed me was coming from there. Your help its been very appreciated. You are an excellent mechanic and person.And thanks to Eric your help is been very helpful too.
