Coolant puddle
Posted: Mon Oct 13, 2008 2:29 pm
So as the title says, i have been finding a puddle of coolant sitting right underneath the turbo inlet tube every morning after the car has been sitting over night and then when i drive the coolant burns up creates a small cloud of smoke for three seconds or so and then everything is okay but my coolant reserve tank (plastic tank attached to radiator) is loosing coolant every day and now i have to refill! The radiator and radiator hoses are brand new... I am not sure what the metal tank is called right above the inlet tube but it seems to be coming from there somewhere... anybody have any idea what that could be? Subaru said that it would be $180 to take a look at it because they would have to take the tank off and blah blah blah... i am tired of subaru dealers trying to make money so i refuse to take it to them especially after this dealership just told my friend that the reason his car wasnt boosting properly was because of his timing belt when it was actually that the inlet tube was not clamped correctly! Any ideas?
