my car seems to be loosing coolant. every once in awhile i drive around and my low coolant light comes on (the lincoln memorial looking thing) and when i look theres no coolant in my system OR overflow. im sure im not leaking because i replaced every single hose and even replaced the thermostat. im ready to replace the HG.

now heres the strange part!

at idle or WOT there is NO WHITE SMOKE whatsoever! car has no loss of power and everything seems fine. car would only start to overheat once all my coolant is gone

where in the world is all my coolant going!? :confused:
 
My reservoir leaks in the winter time and gets low and the light comes on. I'm not pushing coolant out abnormally. It leaks out the bottom where the level sensor is. I'd check that out first as there's got to be a rubber gasket or something down there for the sensor.

it has been kinda cold these past couple of days. its the 1st time ive ever seen that light come on. now where exactly is that sensore at? on the reservoir tank itself or...?
 
Yes, on the reservoir tank. Something free to check out first rather than thinking engine problems.

UPDATE: what about my turbo? its a 14b. since its water cooled im suspecting something might be up with it cause its not hitting like it used to. but if it were bad itll smoke also... :ohdamn: possible boost leak? or can it be im so used to its power that i want MORREE!!
