Omega General Help / coolant leak on 3.0l

« on: 21 July 2010, 19:43:34 »

ive found that every couple of weeks my water level appears to go down slightly ie 500ml top up required

there is no visable leaking

could it just be a pin hole in a hose and loosing it through steam when hot?

any known faults?
