Annoying Coolant Problem

[flyers27]

my coolant light began coming on after long trips and was regularly just topping it off. one day after a hour of driving the coolant spilled all over the driveway a few minutes after the trip ended. i finally just had the system presseure tested and a few small leaks were found at the hoses and they were fixed. it was tested again with no leaks evident. now, after a long trip once again the coolant light came on again and i had to refill the plastic bottle and at the main coolant cap. what could be the problem? this is beginning to get very annoying. i have no mods done besides no turbo restrictor and a fram gas filter in the line of the crank case breather to catch the oil. also, i forgot to mention that my oil dipstick was pushed out during the last trip and oil went all over the underside of the hood. 91 talon tsi automatic, 75,000 miles. thank you

dump it in there, drive around, and let it sit. Get a blacklight and check your car out in the dark. The leak will glooooowwwww. There's kits that include water/coolant dye and also oil dye. Be sure to get the right kind.

it was just pressure tested at 25lbs. with no leaks

I think you should still try the dye, obviously its coming from somewhere, you need to find out where.

Get a new radiator cap, and new O-rings for the dipstick.
