It's at the dealer right now, they should get back to me about it tommorow.
It just started leaking all of a sudden about 4 weeks ago... Had two low-coolant warning in that period. I didn't notice and leaks on the ground or anything, and the reservoir seems fine. I bought a used IC core (about 7 months ago)so that might be the problem, plus I've been having a boost leak since July that nobody can diagnose lol.

No coolant leak was found, the CEL was a throttle actuator that costs $1400 to replace and the boost leak could be caused by bad gaskets.
alkrstev, I don't think we have the same problem, but I read your thread on it and I remember you telling me that you had problems with this before... I can only wish you luck, my friend. I know from first hand experience how frustrating it is when you know for 100% that your car has a problem and nobody is able to correctly diagnose it.

$1400
, I cant believe how expensive one part is to replace. Our cars are worth around $12-$14k at the moment and parts and labor are still that expensive. You are right, we definitely do not have the same problem. Yours is a lot worse buddy
. All I can say is good luck to you as well, and I know that it is extremely frustrating knowing your car has a problem after so much money THROWN AWAY in repairs. I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos at the kills section, and hopefully, your car will be in top notch shape by then.
