Lately my engine has been running warm, it's not getting too hot, just almost to the top of the little temp. emblem(as opposed to being on the little wavy line). I replaced the radiator in august, and it started doing this a few months later, so I took it to a mechanic. The mechanic found a small leak when he pressure tested the system(it was a hose he tightened it, and filled the radiator back up with coolent). Then about a weak later it started doing it again. I seem to be losing a small amount of coolent, is it possible for coolent to somehow disapeer in a pressure tight system? Because I can't seem to find a leak.
Thanks for listening. -------------------- [img]http://photos-081.facebook.com/n6/081/n15913038_30266081_3342.jpg[/img]

Yeah, maybe you need to replace the thermostat.
