The level in my coolant reservoir keeps going down but it is very slow.
About 2 years ago at 77,000 miles I took car to my old mechanic to have checked because coolant reservoir was going down slow. He pressure tested the system and said radiator leaking where metal and plastic meet. The end caps were leaking. So supposedly he changed the radiator. May be he did not change it.
Now 2 years later at 95,000 miles the level in the coolant reservoir is doing same thing. Going down slow.
QUESTIONS: mechanic was supposed to take original factory radiator out because of leak.
Is there a way to tell if factory radiator is still in car and he never changed it.
What would be my plan of action: have system pressure tested. Check hoses. Check water pump.
Also if the radiator is leaking can you see it or must be pressure tested.
The first time I supposedly had a leak at end caps and got new radiator if they honestly changed it I never saw coolant on ground. The level kept going low real slow.
Now same thing. Nothing on ground but level is going low real slow again.
Any help would be great.
Thanks Frank.
