Losing antifreeze changed thermostat and resivoir cap
Check you oil for signs of coolant contamination. If coolant is present in the oil, you may have a leaking head gasket or intake manifold gasket. If there is no sign of coolant in the oil, the antifreeze could be leaking past the intake gaskets and into the combustion chamber. It could also be a leak that only shows up when the engine is running, and you are losing the coolant as you drive. This kind of leak is very difficult to locate. You will have to look for signs of antifreeze around the upper and lower intake gasket area with a strong flashlight. Also check for signs of leakage at the upper and lower radiator hose connections and the drain valve at the bottom of the radiator. If you smell antifreeze inside the car, check the carpet for dampness caused by a heater core leak. Sounds like a lot of work, but these mystery leaks as I like to call them, can take repeated inspections before you finally locate them. I hope I have been of some help. Good luck and let me know what you find.
well i bought the whole intake manifold gasket set and he only put changed one gasket near the top. Should all of them be changed?
I am having the same issue with my car. I filled the engine coolant last week and it is empty today. How much does it cost to get this kind of thing fixed. I just spent 800 getting the fuel pump replaced...I am just sick!!
