my coolant has started dropping in the past few weeks.
there are no leaks visible anywhere.
loses about 1 litre every 120 miles
what could be the cause of this and what can be tried to stop the leak?k seal?
didnt lose one drop of water up until last few weeks

Pressure test system check metal pipe running around back of block and little rubber one above gearbox this connects too metal one can pinhole and be unnoticed as heat from turbo dries it up

k seal is the worst thing for the xud's. clogs up way more then the leak. steer clear of using any leak fixer on these cooling systems
