      I wonder if you know how good you've got it here

      By IZRL · Posted

      I have a Chiltons manual for my Honda Accord and a Haynes manual for my 720. So far from the handful of things I've needed the books for. If you're a glorified part swapper like myself and you need meticulous step by step instructions. Chiltons has been more helpful for me in this sense. The 720 Haynes book has been less helpful. Most of the time it seems the instructions in Haynes book are "figure out how to remove the part, then do the reverse to put it back on". 🤦‍♂️

      The most, not obvious way out, is the tailpipe. On light cruise, almost no load and certainly on deceleration there is almost no compression in the cylinder, certainly when slowing down the cylinder is under intake vacuum 20Hg. conditions. Now if the cooling system is pressurized (radiator cap 13 PSI) and the cylinder is at some vacuum condition coolant is not only going to flow, it's being pushed past a blown head gasket into the engine and out the exhaust.   A drip of water is 0.05gr. so if the leak is one drop every intake stroke then at 55-60 MPH and 3,000 RPMs that's 1,500 intake strokes per minute. Equaling 75 gr. It would only take 13 min of driving to loose a liter of coolant.   It could he half that or half and hour per liter It could be 1/4 of a drip or just under an hour.   And not just on the highway, any time the engine is running.

      Damn you've lost like 3 gallons of fluid since you started this thread(sarcasm). There has to be evidence of where this fluid is going, somewhere on the car.   Maybe try and use a UV coolant leak detector. Never used a coolant UV leak detector before, but I have used a UV AC refrigerant leak detector and it worked great. Poor the liquid in the radiator, run it for a while. Than scan the entire engine compartment with a black light.    https://www.autozone.com/test-scan-and-specialty-tools/uv-light-and-accessories/p/auto-pro-usa-antifreeze-and-coolant-leak-detector-uv-dye-1oz/667633_0_0?cmpid=LIA:US:EN:AD:NL:1000000:ACC:19323145846&&CATARGETID=120054150001286306&CADevice=m&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwxeyxBhC7ARIsAC7dS3_hhSxYLaTDYo0JYtI-R7vH42JoT9veu7u_9xCGfbEnlynNGF_MBAgaAlvGEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
