Good Morning,
2005 9-3 sport sedan, ~170K miles, replaced the coolant reservoir a month ago, had a small leak. Over the last week, have been getting a low coolant warning, it seems to occur once the car stops moving. top it up, drive home. reservoir level is low when first parked, hours later it has filled itself up to KALT line. Go to drive and after a while get another low coolant warning when stopped, fill it up, drive a while stop at a light, low coolant warning. it appears to only be coming out the reservoir overflow tube, no hoses leaking, no white smoke out the back end.
Any ideas besides chasing a head gasket?
Thanks
Stump
