I've Got a G6et and today when checkin the fluids an so on I noticed once again the coolant level was low. Now when I say low...in all cases I've noticed it...the fluid line was just still reading in the bottom of the overfill/engine bay tank. So maybe missing 1-1.5 litres I think. It's happened probably 3-4 times since last summer........always after a HARD driving session. I thought during summer it was jsimply just an overheating issue of sorts due to driving hard in the heat......but now it's happened in winter I thought I'd throw the question out there and see if anyone knows what it may be! Initially I thought I was using water (in a bad way) but the fluid level literally never goes down if I don't flog it. Probably been 4 months since it happened last. anyway...id appreciate any heads up tips if anyone's knows or has seen this happen similiar before. Thanks in advance!

It's likely you've got a slow leak somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
