you can tell by the smoke usually. change the thermostat, make sure your clutch fan is good, check the water pump, try letting the car sit for a day or two. if its hard to start and smokes white . i'll show you a pic of my FD with bad coolant seals. its BAD
|
u think its bad coolant seals?
|
if its losing coolant meaning burning it..... def coolant seals :(
|
but there would be smoke if its burned? but then again maybe he justhasnt noticed it.

My car also loses coolant, I have to fill the tank about every week or so, however, i know what hte problem is, have you checked your heater hose? the one from the firewall near the UIM going to the drivers side of hte block? Mazda used crappy clamps, and the combo of that, heat, and oil that gets dripped on the hose can cause it to fail, frequently, mine was replaced recently, and it is already gooey, and leaking slowly, from where the clamp has cut into the hose (must get wormgear clamps soon)

yea its a good idea to check the radiator around where the core is pinched over the ends. mine leaks at the end caps just a little every time after i shut the car off.

I have replaced the heater hose,it was leaking a little and where it came to the motor,i replaced it with a universal,i do see that it does get a little wet down there but theres no way it goes through that much water.Any one want to come by and give me a hand with this damn thing?---crofton maryland?

Mine had a similar problem. I heard that there is a weep hole in our water pumps. It could cause some fluid loss. With mine I just upgraded to a Fluidyne radiator and now it doesn't leak a ******* thing!
