Loose shifter, missing coolant!

brandonsupra · 10-20-2006, 06:20 PM

While we're on the topic of losing rad fluid I'll step in here for a second. Mine is losing a bit of fluid as well, and sometimes I can smell anti-freeze. I don't have any milk in the oil, no bubbling, no strange smokes out the exhaust. Could this be a leak in the heater core? I had a heater core leak in another car and the floor/mats were always soaked and smelling like anti freeze but this isn't happening. My oil pressure regulates fine, and I see no signs of BHG. The only sign of a BHG I observe is the "water-fall" sound at start up but I read that can just mean the rad needs a good burping? Any ideaS?
