I have an '03 windstar and it has started to use a bit of antifreeze. I looked around pretty close and didn't see any leaks. In serarching the web I seen headgaskets were kind of a common issue with the early windstars. It only has 50,000 miles on it and has been very gently used and well maintained. Just wondering if there were any "common" issues with the 03 windstars and antifreeze useage?
I was thinking of throwing in a jar of BARs, but wasn't sure on the best way of doing thing. Is it OK to just dump it in the resovour? Not sure how much circlulation there. With previous vehicles, I would drain the radiator down a bit and add directly in the radiator, but with the pressurized resovour there really isn't a radiator cap....
I don't need a lecture on the stop leak, but I have had great luck in the past with BARs. I had a toyota that started leaking antifreeze into one of the cylinders through a head gasket at about 70K. Still driving it with
170K, hasn't used a drop of antifreeze since....
