noticed that my 8v seems to like to get rid of it's coolant. i can
fill the tank up all the way and it'll usually be down to about 1/4" in
less than two weeks. after that, though, it stays at about 1/4" and i
have no problems cooling, even on warmer days (usually stays below
half). don't suggest cracked bottle because i have swapped that out to
no effect. the car does not blow steam out the pipe (no smoking) nor
does it leave puddles. i cannot seem to locate the source of the missing
water (no, it's not mixing with the oil, either). could a bad reservoir
cap be to blame? i'm thinking also heater core (as steam) but it
defrosts perfectly and i cannot smell antifreeze. ideas? thanx.
