Coolant loss

[oggy73]

Hi. I hope someone can help, my RX4 seems to loose a little coolant about every 4 weeks, it does not go down by much and i can't see any leaks but I do have to top it up.

HI M8....
Well it could be quite a few things....Its definatley bad news!
it could be anything from a cracked cylinderhead, to a burned head gasket....all need to be checked by doing a leakdown test , and a pressure test of you colant circuit!
@ btw.....do you see any white foam in with the oil on your dip stick???

check all this out......@ drop a few lines back!

take care....

No no foam in the oil, I dont think it is the cylinder head or anything as there are no other signs of a problem. I wondered if there are any other faults on these that I need to know about so that I can rule other things out.
