XC90 AntiFreeze Leak
I have an '03 XC90 that now has 80k miles. Recently it has started using coolant but we cannot determine where or how. It doesn't leak when parked in the garage overnight and it doesn't appear to be in the oil like a blown head gasket will do.
It has now been in two shops and one Volvo dealership and still no answer. We went ahead and replaced the water pump, t-stat and timing belt but problem still exists. It has been pressure tested, emissions, compression tested, and even had the cylinders scoped through the plug ports. Still no solution.
Anyone ever experience anything like this????

Radiator Cap
My XC90 was leaking coolant, my local dealer replaced the Radiator. Still leaking, the mechanic then suggested the reservoir tank, but I fixed it myself with a $8 Radiator Cap from auto parts store. The cap was suppose to release air when pressure reached 22PSI, when the cap got old, they started releasing air and coolant at much lower pressure.
