2000 v70 turbo coolant problem

May 30, 2008 2 Replies

here's a puzzler - the overflow tank keeps emptying but the car has never run hot. it has no signs of a head gasket problem afaik (anyone want to give me other warning signs besides coolant in oil/oil in coolant/white gunk on oil cap/etc) i'm actually hoping maybe on of the hoses that goes to the overflow tank itself is leaking but there is never any coolant on the ground just condensation from the A/C pipes. ps- i looked around the timing belt for signs of a water pump seal going bad but there is never any steam or water leaking from there either. thanks in advance for any help everyone!


Check the coolant reservoir these usually leak also check the bottom of the radiator for any signs of leakage

I'll second that. Mine was cracked but would only leak when under pressure in operation. When you check it, unless it is hot and running, you won't see a leak.
