Coolant Consumption
I'm looking for some thoughts and advice on my 104k mile powerstroke that does a lot of towing. I let a friend borrow it and when I got it back the coolant reservoir had a big split in the seam. I thought it had just rotted out so I replaced it. That seemed to fix the problem and the tank is holding up but I now notice a little coolant consumption. I just towed about 1200 miles and the coolant dropped about an inch over the whole trip. Do I have a bad headgasket? Does Bars Leak work in a Diesel? Any recommendations?

Not sure if it's a problem, but mine does the same thing. If I fill it to the line, the next day it will be about an inch low. But never gets any lower. And i've never had any cooling or leaking problems.
