ADD COOLANT! wtf!
#1
ok, i've noticed this in my car.. every once in a while the add coolant light comes on.. so i add coolant.. but the part that gets me is that sometimes it will not come on for a week or two.. or a month.. then suddenly it comes on.. I add water.. drive it somewhere.. or for my daily duties.. then the next mornin its on again.. so i add coolant.. maybe a couple of days in a row.. then it stops.. and runs good again.. for a while.. week or two.. and starts buggin again.. so if im losin water.. why so inconsistent? any good places to start trouble shooting?

Similer Story:
My water pump started leaking out of the weep hole a long time ago... I kept adding coolant and kept an eye on the temps until I was ready to swap another in. Then one day, it stopped leaking. That was about 2 months ago. I havent lost any coolant since. The pump seems to have fixed itself.

well the other mornin i turned the car on and proceeded to open the hood and add water.. i looked around.. and the hose to the thermowax was wet right at the tip.. where it clamps on.. so i figure maybe there.. but it was not leakin bad.. but maybe once under pressure.. ill check it out and see about the other suggestions too.

yeah i had the same thing but i check my fluids and everything is fine. I think its the sensor on top of the radiator that is correded or not grounded properly causing the ADD COOLANT light to come on from time to time
