Hi, guys. I've got a (hopefully) small problem with my 96 P10. I've got coolant in my radiator, but the coolant in the reservoir is disappeaing.
I was driving home a couple nights ago and I noticed my temp starting to rise. I pulled over, checked my reservoir and it was completely empty, which has never happened before. I added more to the reservoir, and drove home, keeping an eye on the temp gage. No problem.
I get up for work the next morning, and check the reservoir tank, and its down to a third. It was full the night before. I added more, and drove to work, which was five miles away. After my shift was over 12 hours later, there was zero coolant in the reservoir.
There's no puddles under the car that I can see, even with cardboard underneath. Oil dipstick isn't milky, and there's no white smoke/moisture out the tailpipe. I can't smell any coolant anywhere it's not supposed to be. I'm at a loss. Where the hell is it going?
And yes, I've checked levels both when the car is hot and cold. I'm not mechanically inclined in the least, either, but I want to try and fix this myself if possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.
