eating coolant?
eating coolant? my car is literally eating my coolant! i had a cut in one of the hoses but i had it fixed yesterday. all the fluids were drained and new ones were put in. the weird thing about it is my car still runs really cool, never goes above 21 even after jumping on it and then sitting in traffic! i dont know what to do so someone please give me some feedback as to where i can start to look. thanks!

May still be a bad head gasket, do a compression test and see if any are off. Or possibly it is leaking outside of the motor and buring up upon contact with the block. Can you smell it at all??

oil looks and smells like oil, isnt white at all, i just dont know where its going and theres no tell tale signs of the head gasket going south so its prolly jus leaking somewhere

had the same exact thing, just got done pullin the heads tonight and there was s light crack in the gasket, i was going threw coolant like crazy and it wasnt comin out the exhaust or mixed in the oil. Do a compression test, my no. 7 was like 40 psi lower than the rest and sure a **** that was where the little crack was. Most cylinders should be around 130...
