Hello Folks
I have a 55 S2 3200 pick up. The original mileage is now 78,000.
Have spent several years restoring it and now drive it regularly.
Have noticed that it "uses coolant" when I drive 50 miles or so.
There is no leakage, no water in the oil and no overheating.
I also have a new radiator cap - 7psi. New thermostat and radiator.
I top off the radiator when I get home. It takes
about two quarts to fill it. Only fill it to about 1 quart low. Can just
barely see the coolant. Heater on or off hasn't changed things.
It starts and runs fine and the plugs don't show any residue
that would indicate water or anti freeze getting past the head gasket.
No blue smoke or excessive water vapor. I'm stumped!
Used a cooling system pressure tester and a CO2 tester. No problems found.
Up on a lift there is no water or dampness anywhere to be seen.
Does anyone have an idea or suggestion fro me as to what else I
can do to?
Many Thanks,
Sepp
