Coolant Leak?
Coolant Leak?
I have an 87 Formula and I have been having to add coolant to it. Replaced the hoses, they were not the source of the leak. No fluid under the car either. Any thoughts on what might be going on here?

well have you noticed any smoke during start up? Whats your oil look like? what do your plugs look like? since you cant seem to find any on the ground the leak may be an internal problem but you may also want to look around the heater core and follow all your hoses in the engine bay and look for signs of leaks.

Do you hear any gurgling sounds coming from the firewall area? Losing coolant without any leaks usually means the head gasket has a tear in it allowing coolant to seap into the combustion chamber and being burnt with the air fuel mixture.
