Leaking Coolant Help???
Need possible solutions to start checking.
My coolant level has dropped about 2 inches in the past 2 weeks its not a headcrack problem i know that and that about it theres bo milky substance in oil or radiator cap heat works fine and so forth. Ive looked up to check hoses and the radiator cap bc it can be bubbling out of there. Is there any other things i should be checking??

I was having the same problem before, found a small leak on the thermostat housing that would evaporate before reaching the ground. Fixed that and still was loosing coolant... turns out my overflow jug had a crack in the seam above the full line,so when I turned hard it would slosh out the crack

My point was it never hit the ground, at least not when parked and running. If your thermostat cover has a small leak it will burn off in a matter of seconds. The cracked seam on the overflow bottle wasn't noticeable until I filled it up past the full line and saw it starting to leak out.
