- 2003 Mountaineer V8 4.6L
I've been losing coolant from the reservoir on a 2003 Mountaineer with the 4.6 V8 at a rate of about 1/4" per day at 15-20 miles of driving. I found a small leak on one intake manifold gasket, so this weekend I replaced the intake manifold, gaskets, thermostat, etc. I've been over the entire engine compartment and can't find any signs of coolant leaking. I completed the repair on Sunday and as of this Tuesday AM, I've gone from the top "cold fill" line to the bottom "cold fill" line. I burped the system at fill up. I'm sure there could have been some air still in the system, but I think I may still be losing coolant from somewhere. There are no signs of coolant on ground or engine compartment. I've felt around the carpet and nothing there, nor any fogging problem with the heat on. HELP...where else should I look for a leak?
