Ray,

We too had this problem. We had a leaky radiator cap (one of the

rubber seals was missing). It also appeared possible some coolant

running out the relief tube. Long story short -- we replaced the

with a new 7 lb cap and mounted an aftermarket (NAPA) automotive > coolant recovery tank (approx 1/2 gal) at the end of a new > (transparent) relief tube.

We haven't lost any coolant since (2 years now). The recovery

EMPTY when everything is cool, but I often see a small amount of > coolant in the relief tube and bottom of the new tank after

Everything gets sucked back into the standard coolant expansion

when the engine cools.
