Car Forum / GMC Cars / August 2006Astra coolant leak
Car is running fine with normal temps on gauges. However, I am losing something like 1 liter/200 Km. I have inspected visually the engine and didn't notice any leak. However, when I open the coolant tank, the level goes considerably up. Then I refill up to the mark, and like these for two weeks now. Is this normal? Should I take the car to the garage? Car has about 83K KM, any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks. M. > Car is running fine with normal temps on gauges.

Sounds like it could be the beginnings of the head gasket failing. Have a garage check for exhaust gases in the coolant. >> Car is running fine with normal temps on gauges.

Isn't there an over-the-counter test kit for this ??? Someone mentioned it before....but I can't remember what it's called. > >> Car is running fine with normal temps on gauges.

It might have colant in oil pointing that you mihgt have intake manifold gasket failure. (Common for W engines) «» wrote: > > >> Car is running fine with normal temps on gauges.
