loosing coolant but no visaul leakes, i have replaced the radiator over flow cap, which appeared to be visually deforemed at the top ( somewhat domed and extemely tight getting on and off) i dod notice tonight that there is some evidence that at some point there may have been leaging at the weep hole but im not sure if that offured last year when my radiator was pluged and i had and overheating issuse and the engine shut down, which has since been replaced.
I did a cylinder compression test 2 days ago on all 8 cylinders and had 150 psi on all cylinders, havnt done a copression test on cylinders in 20 years but i felt confident in my results. I called th edealer and asked what the preasure SHOULD beand they said 165 psi. im a tad concerned about the 15psi difference for such low milage, also been running MOBILE 1 synthetic since initial break-in.
I am getting the white smoke exhaust for a few miles till the engine gets to temp then it stops, exhaust doesnt have th esweet smell of antifreeze though!
anyone have input?
Thanks Tony
