Ok, so my antifreeze keeps leaking but I have no idea from where or how? I've replaced all of the thermostat, all the hoses(one had a cut), and I checked to see if everything's intact properly and all looks good. However Ive wasted almost 3 bottles of antifreeze because every other week the reserve tank and the radiator is low and my car over heats? Any ideas?

ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!
Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956
Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)
Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.
These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.
1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.
2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.
3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.
4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.
The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.
The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Check your oil or your exhaust pipe. If it's not on the ground, it's in one of those places.MRT
37.5 MPG, AC on, cruising at 80.
30.0 MPG, AC on, aggressively driving around 90.
27.5 MPG, no AC, cruising at 90 with occasional gridlock. 40 degrees Fahrenheit
Lots of DIY videos specifically for our car
Get some awesome wipers! <-- It's a DIY

But I looked under the car and saw my flex was cracked and air was coming out. Still think its that?Originally posted by Mishakol129Do not disrespect my intelligence.

Does the inside of the car smell sweet, like coolant? You can always put a larger piece of cardboard or paper under the car over night, if its leaking you'll see it.Originally posted by Mishakol129Do not disrespect my intelligence. I am the smartest person I know : )

Originally posted by dj_ender View PostNot that I can think of, if the head gasket is leaking you'll be seeing smoke come out at every morning start up. Your either leaking it, or burning it, and from the sounds of it, your not burning it.
