Cooling Water Consumption
I have a 2000 Cherokee Sport with the 4.0L inline six engine. Everything on this car looks and runs perfectly, except there's a slow but constant cooling water consumption that necessitates adding some water-antifreeze solution about once a week to the radiator overflow tank. One Jeep dealer told me that in late 1999 Jeep lightened up the head casting such that a tiny little crack develops in the head of '99-'01 Cherokees which causes cooling water to leak into an exhaust port where it vaporizes such that there's no visible evidence of a leak. Does anyone know if this is true, and what's the best way for me to rectify the problem? Thanks for any information you can give me.
