Losing coolant

[Leroy Eckert]

Don, you mentioned you changed the gate valves, for the heater system I presume. It probably is an air pocket that got worked through if no evidence in the engine oil or ground.You might check the tranny since it's oil is water cooled. I say that because after I changed my main engine water pump I had to add fluid a couple of times. It finally stabilized and have not added fluid since.

A couple of days ago I checked and it was not visible in the sight glass. Took roughly one gallon to bring it back to the top of the glass. This was approximately 480 miles since the last check (three separate runs with several days between each). I checked about 40 miles later (hot) and it was full. Checked it just now, cold, and it was not visible. Took a bit over a quart to bring it to the top. This was about 110 miles since the previous fill. My oil usage appears about normal, 5 quarts on this trip over 4300 miles. I would expect less if it was going into the oil (unless it boils off??) I'm parked on clean concrete, and there are no signs of any fluids underneath (It's been cool enough that the air conditioner has not been used, so not even condensate). Any thoughts on what to look at/for? Don Bradner 90 PT40 "Blue Thunder" Posting today by satellite from Hilton Head, South Carolina My location: http://www.bbirdmaps. com/user2. cfm?user= 1
