Omega General Help / Re: Omega 2.5v6 2000 coolant loss

Thanks for the further tips on cracking my coolant loss problem. I'll be going out in few minutes, on a 30 minute journey. May be at the end of the trip I will be able to observe something to help me pin-point the source of my coolant loss. Cheers.

Thanks to all who have kindly given me a quick reply to my query of coolant loss. I think I already have a lot of meat to chew. An hour ago, as I was checking how much coolant had been lost this week after the car warning system showed up again, I noticed that the top of the expansion tank was wet with coolant around the edges. I am now also suspecting leakage from the pressure cap. Next time the coolant reaches high operational temperature I will stop the car and investigate whether any coolant is sipping out. Keep you posted.

Omega General Help / Omega 2.5v6 2000 coolant loss

« on: 20 February 2013, 10:34:24 »

My 2.5v6 (2000) is loosing coolant at the rate of 1/2 a liter per week. I drive 350 miles per week. The engine oil is clean so is the coolant reservoir. Can anyone tell me where the coolant might be going? and if this is a common fault with these cars? I have recently bought this car and it is a pleasure to drive with 145k miles on the clock.
