Coolant Leak
I have 95 E320 with ~140k miles on it. This past weekend I've had to refill my coolant tank everyday because all of it disappears in a matter of a day. I discovered that it's been leaking cause i have a pool of fluid on my garage floor. Anybody know how I should diagnose where the problem is in the cooling system? Thanks.

Follow the trail of coolant upward until you find the leak source. The only way to do that is to get down and dirty.
One method that helps is to pressurize the system with shop air at about 20 psi. This uncovers leaks that only present themselves under pressure. At times this method has made diagnostics very easy for me in what were incredibly hard to find leaks.
