Dissapearing Coolant.....
Like the title says....i've notice over the past couple of months that the coolant level in my degas bottle has dropped about half an inch. There is no residue around the cap, no leaks (that i can see), and I'm running the stock tune (i have an X2 with Spartan Tunes but i'm waiting to install my gauges.) so is this normal?? if not....wth is it going??

well i just had my bedplate replaced but before that, they tested for HG failure and everything checked out ok. would they remove the heads to do the bedplate and if so...is it possible to foul up the re-installation and screw up the HG's?

stroke-of-luck00 -
The leak rate you describe seems so slow that you would not see any puddles - maybe not even wet areas. The leak could be from the degas bottle cap. They came out w/ a new one not long ago. It is a cheap thing to try. Other than that, if you are not seeing any smoke, it just might be a very slow leak from one of the hoses.
