No visible coolant but car seems ok!
 
Hi,

Thank you for your help on my previous topic.

I used K-seal and the visible leak seems to have gone, however, there is no visible coolant in the tank once the car is cold. After a drive when I open the bonnet and the cap of the expansion tankI can feel the pressure and water forcing out.But, once the car is cold there is very little water- below min. The temp seems fine from 59-93 max... and if it ever does reach to 100 the fan starts and brings it back down to around 90. My mechanic advised me to stop topping the water up everyday.(Does this sound right) I recently had the head gasket replaced. Checked oil///No mayonaise in the oil. Car seems ok on long journeys to... slight pressure build up tho... warms quicker wen its idle.. Is there a light which indicates low fluid? Please help, i hope i dont sound confusing. Thank You.

Once you top off the fluid when it's hot it should stay within the Hot - Cold range as you drive the car each day. If you have to top off the coolant everyday then you still have a leak.....
