Where's the coolant going?

#1

Checked the oil and nothing obvious there. Can't see anything externally, and even if it
burned right off, I'd think I would smell the coolant, which I don't.

Took another look at the overflow tank and it's well within the hot / cold lines so I
don't think the level is actually low. Leading me to suspect a faulty sensor ... but ...
do you have any idea where the sensor actually is located?

Thanks yet again ... Phil

Could be an internal leak from worn Intake manifold gaskets. or it could

engine and you wouldn't notice it.

If you have a coolant level sensor it could have an air bubble traped
around the sensor. Try tapping around its location. Sometimes just the
coolant splashing around the bottle is enough to trip the light. Kind of
a common problem.
