Pressure test? I had the same problem, so I borrowed a pump from our local mechanic, and identified the leak within 30 seconds. In my case it was a crack in the plastic flange on the side of the cylinder head, the one with a hose going to (or is it from?) the heater core.
Cheers, Oleg <<< [email protected] 10/ 1 5:09p >>> This is getting worse, every month I have to top up my coolant level about a litre (or quart). Yesterday I toped up the coolant and on the way to work my coolant light was flashing. So, when I get home tonight I'm going to let my car cool down and I'm going to top up (again). I don't know where the coolant is going because I don't see a puddle under the car. But what I do hear is a sizzeling sound comming from within or behind the head after a hard run. I was told that it could just be air pockets that form. How can I determine where the coolant is going? PLEASE HELP ME.
