Coolant light is on again...I have no idea where it's going. It's slow what ever it is. I haven't had to add any coolant to it since May. I think it's time for a radiator. If that doesn't fix it then I get to do my very first head gasket.

Ok. I'll move the conversation over there.Quote:

Yeah, either should oil. :rofl
You may have expansion tank crack swell/shrink phenomena.

WTF, this must be a Florida mod! I did the exact same thing when I first got my car. So lame. But it's great to be rid of the rattle. :thumbsupQuote:

How can I have that when the expansion tank is only 9,000 miles old and it's an OEM part?!
Dalton, Oil has an outlet through the piston rings. If everything in the cooling system is sealed, where else should it go? No where. Chasing this leak is getting ridiculous. I should have never changed the system to begin with...should have let it fail first before fixing it.
Pressure test the system. I've seen systems with faulty new parts before at work.Quote:
