cooling system pressure tester.

The dye glows bright yellow under uv I know because I got it on my boots!
Yes a double negative as the oil glows slightly yellow straight out of the bottle,
As far as loosing water goes I only have to top it up every few weeks but it defiantly goes somewhere.
No strawberry milkshake though.

So how much are you losing after what time scale?

[Dobbslc]

About 1/4 of the overflow bottle every 2-3 weeks.

Do you have any antifreeze in the system?
Does the exhaust have a sweet whiff?

It is obviously losing a fair bit of coolant, might be worth having another look under the bonnet for signs of a leak.

Heads gone.

[BUSHWHACKER]

Heads gone.

Wrong!

The head is still there, it's just fawked.

[Dobbslc]

Heads gone.

The coolent is perfect, no sweet smelling exhaust, as for seeing any leaks there aren't any, I looked everywhere from above, below, in daylight, at night with a torch plus the UV test nothing.
It runs fine with just a bit of chugging for a few seconds sometimes when cold.
I'm just keeping an eye on it and hope it gets me all the way to Lincolnshire on Sunday to collect a lathe!
