Mystery coolant loss hits!
So this morning my dash notes low coolant. I check and sure enough the res is down about 1/4. Car never drips anything so I'm afraid it's one of 2 things:
1. Dreaded IC failure
2. Dreaded Radiator failure
I'll take the intake covers off tomorrow to see if my intake runners show signs of coolant goop. Question......do the airboxes need to be removed to get the intake covers off? A quick glance tells me yes.
Don't think it's a Head gasket as my coolant res has no sign of oil mixed w/ the coolant and there is no strange smoke from the exhaust.
Thoughts on other causes?
