I replaced my radiator a couple weeks ago because it was leaking. Now I'm losing coolant. Yesterday it was below the minimum level, so I put some more coolant in. I checked the hoses, and there are no leaks or holes. Any ideas?

 

Make sure it not ending up in the oil. Bad head gasket?!?!

 

!!!!!!!!!!!!

I gotta change my oil soon, will look out for that.

if theres white smoke coming out of ur exhuast then ur burning coolant. rev it up and see if theres white smoke coming out.

 

pull out your dipstick and check if the oil has a milky color - that would indicate coolant mixing with your oil.

are smelling coolant burning after driving? that would then mean a leak is somewhere...check that your hose clamps are tight, and maybe get a pressure check on the radiator and cap.

 

give it some time for the air to come out of the car... you gotta run the car until warm and then fill the coolant canister up agian...it takes time. and did you bleed the coolant lines..

 

Actually nothing came out when I bled the coolant :wtc:

Sometimes I smell coolant after driving.

 

Dude,

You're supposed to bleed it until something DOES come out.

 

dom do this!

-make sure the motor is cold and NO accessories are on
-move the temp slider all the way to heat (but don't run the blower)
-pop the cap off, and fill it back up until no more bubbles down into the rad
-start the car with the rad cap off and wait until it reaches operating temperature (will take a while, have a sandwich)
-it will start bubbling, if the level drops, add more
-once it has been running @ OT for a while and the level hasn't dropped, put the cap back on
-fill the overflow to the max line

 

Yeah I left the bolt undone for like 10 minutes, nothing came out.
