The title says it all. I have 80000 miles on my 94 coupe and abouit 5000 miles ago I had all the coolant hoses replaced. About a month or so later I noticed the coolant in the overflow container was below the coolant dipstick level. I also saw indications of dryed coolant on one of the radiator hoses. I suspected the clamps had relaxed a bit since being installed and proceeded to tighten all the hose clamps. I refilled the overflow container about a 1/2 inch above the cold mark on the dipstick. I put about a thousand miles on and rechecked the container. The level was below the cold mark. No leaks show up on the ground or the engine area. I continued to do this 3 or 4 times and found no evidence of coolant leaking out. I also checked the oil dip stick for evidence of coolant in the oil. Nothing indicated leakage internally. I finnaly took it back to the dealer who originallly did the job and he rechecked everything with the system pressurised. He found a few area where the clamps had to be tighten and then refilled the overflow container above the dipstick cold line. "No charge for his work". After 1 week (approx 300 miles), the coolant level has dropped below the dipstick cold line. No indication of leakage . Rechecked the oil dipstick and no evidence of coolant which shows up as a white milky color.

Any suggestions?????

it IS possible to have a leaking head gasket without milkshaking the oil. I had this situation when I blew the head gasket in my '87. However, if the tech pressurized the coolant system, he should have found a leaking head gasket if there is one.

It is possible to have a pinhole in the radiator and not leave a puddle on the ground. It's also possible that you're water pump is starting to go out, and you're leaking coolant out of the weep hole in the bottom of the water pump.

 

See any signs of coolant splashed on the underside of the hood, above where the belt is?

 

My guess would be head gasket.

 

my guess.........intake gasket....... :(

 

Check your intake. I recently found a small seepage at the rear of my intake, retorqued the bolts, so far no more leak. :yesnod:
