Hi guys, my omega has always had some coolant missing, small amounts, nothing serious, but in latest month it became really strange.
Omega had heater core blocked so I did matrix flush and the heat is back. Job jobbed or so I thought...It developed a leak on lower heater hose fast clamp, so I cut plastic piece off and used hose clamp - success....not really...
it started leaking on HBV...replaced it and now it's dry as a bone....but leak transfered to radiator AUX pump, so I removed it and connected both radiator hoses together with a piece of steel pipe...And then leak transfered to fan switch on the top of lower radiator hose...
Strange thing is it only leaks a tiny bit when the engine is cooling down, not being hhot anymore.
What concerns me the most is, when the system is cold, next day after driving, coolant level is an inch low... if I open coolant bottle cap level rises close to max and a sound of pressure is released. Pressure in cold system makes me wonder if there is maybe head gasket problem....
Any help appreciated.
Thanks guys
