Drive a d16Y7 Boosted EG hatch and it is losing coolant. I cant find any leaks on hoses and car seems to be running fine. No air in the system. I am thinking a cracked headgasket and the coolant is just slowly burning off. But i lose a fair amount after a long drive around for a day. I think if it was a headgasket i would notice major overheating issues and white smoke coming out. But i cant see any of this? Leaky rad or what? Any help would be great. It just started this a week or two ago.

 

check the carpet on the floor of the car. I had the same problem and it was leaking into my car through the heater core. Hope this isn't the case with you though.

 

have you checked the oil for coolant? or the coolant for oil? also try doing a leakdown test with the radiator cap off see if it pushes the coolant out. that will tell you for sure if it is the headgasket....im having a coolant issue too im blowin it out the overflow im hoping its the rad cap if not i guess ill be changing the HG
