All,
So I got my water pump back from Joe Curto and have installed it. I also
went ahead and restricted the bypass. All seems to be in order, and there's
no leaks, (hooray!).
I filled up the system with a 50-50 mixture. Cranked the engine over, and
then topped her off, so I know it was at the correct capacity. Per the
manual it says to fill it to 1/2" from the overflow tube.
To make a long story short I drove to and from work today and when I got
home I checked the coolant level and it was about 1/2" above the core.
After double-checking there's no leaks and there's no cooant getting into
the engine. I topped the coolant off again and observed the car as it ran
and it looks like I'm losing it through the overflow tube.
While I can expect some fluid loss as it heats up and expands I think that
the amount I'm losing is excessive. So what gives? Anyone have an idea on
this one?
Any help appreciated,
-Scott
