Coolant Leak But No Overheat

[KJS]

I think you should see small bubbles coming through the radiator(with radiator cap removed) when you repeatedly crank an engine with a blown head gasket. Is this true, maybe im wrong?

EDIT: just thought about it and this is a trick used in darwin where some cars have themostats removed. ie probably wont work if thermostat is closed.

also i recently had a radiator leak and the first radiator pressure test conducted by a workshop that specializes in radiator repair *apparently* held pressure even though coolant had literally drained from the stationary car. I told them to do it again and then they found it had a crack. They never charged me for the test and I took my radiator elsewhere to be fixed.

so you mean, even if you have a crack in radiator, the pressure will still hold??

no coolant had drained from my car when it was stationary tho

the thing is, OCASSIONALLY I have white smoke from rear and found the coolant level decrease in the tank

last few days, even when the weather was cold, there's no white smoke came up

I had shorten my car warming period (so maybe warm up like 2-3 minutes instead of 57 minutes) and just drove off and hasn't seen any coolant level lowered at the tank

I will stop worry for a while (by taking you guys' advice), but guys please keep track if this thread appear on top again, lol

thanks again
