Hi All -
I could use some "country advice" on what I'm missing on my daughter's school car. Its a 2005 Subaru Impreza.
She was in a slight fender bender several months ago and I put a new radiator in and got it running. The problem is - over a period of weeks - all of sudden, the engine will start heating I've got to add coolant.
The weird part is that it runs rock-solid "normal" for several weeks until it decides to go hot. The AC is cold - and even on the hottest days - the engine won't heat until it decides to pull that trick.
I put a new thermostat and new radiator cap in the other day and thought it was cured for the past 3 weeks until it did it again today. The overflow tank was full - and it seemed to be sucking back into the engine after it cooled off - but I still had to add about 3/4s of a gallon after it cooled all the way off.
Can a tiny air leak on the overflow/suction tube cause it to lose coolant over time? The engine seems fine - no missing, no white smoke, oil stays clear, etc...

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
