Thanks for all the replies. The leak has been going on for a year, so I doubt it's air in the system, and the rate of loss is accelerating. I have the coolant expansion tank topped up now, but we'll drive 250 miles this afternoon and it will have dropped to the MIN level when we arrive. There is no smell of antifreeze in the cabin. I had this failure in my '88 and and familiar with the symptoms. What I'm really worried about is whether it might be leaking past the head gasket. Would Bars Leaks be the thing for this?
So my question is - how much of a leak into the combustion chamber do you need in order to see white smoke from the tailpipe? Right now, there is none. Thanks.
