Signs of intake leak? - Land Rovers Only

Discoandaboat · 10-08-2007, 04:22 PM

3 weeks ago took 03 Disco to dealer for warranty stuff and they found I had an intake leak and fixed it. 2 weeks ago I went back for an oil change and they did a fuel injection service and found iintake was leaking antifreeze again and fixed it again. Well on my way back from MAR I thought I could smell coolant in the cabin. Well when I got back home and opened up the hood I realized the coolant level(engine is cold) is about 1" from the bottom of the tank, or about3-4inches form the COLD LEVEL where it should be. In know the last time they fixed the intake they put new antifreeze in it cause I saw it on the receipt when lends me to beleive they filled it up. Well now my coolant is low again. WTF???? How do I figure out if it is still leaking?

If you can smell it, its leaking.

yeah if you smell the fruity smell of leaking/burning coolant you've got issues.

Go have the dealer pressure test the coolant system then get them to fix it right this time.
