Hi all,
Every few days I have to add water to the antifreeze reservoir. This has been going on for several weeks. No leaks can be found and no evidence of water in the oil. Any ideas on where the antifreeze is going?

the water pump can leak,its a difficult one too see if the undertray is still in place!!,remove it and look fron underneath you should see a leak/stain around the crank area. hope this helps.billy.

coolant leakage

I have it too and think it's the pump. i will change this summer when I replace the timing belt parts. For now I loosened the cap on the reservior, which slowed the leak. I did replace the thermostat and housing about a year ago, so it's probably not that. I need to add some every 2 to 3 months, which I do.
