aint been on here for a while, again i topped my coolant up 2 weeks ago and its come up again with coolant level low, i have checked under the car and around the engine, cant see ANY leaks, if it aint head gasket, WHAT could it be?
dont all hurl abuse back as im up to here wth this damn car at the moment, if it helps... the car doesnt have any misfires, though it dont seem as nippy as it used to be, sluggish infact...
at any time of the day, if i accelarate hard i can see smoke coming from the exhaust, not black but maybe white smoke?
will go and top coolant up again, im only adding about half a pint every 2 weeks.. though surely it cant be normal

try and check for seepage around the rear corners of the head/block join.... especially passneger side i've owned one, and read about several others where this was where the head gasket failed.... it looked like all sorts of other leaks.... but after everything esle had been done, it still wept some..... when James took that car on, and changed them, it was clearly knackered there...
