Hey all, not sure if anyone else has had this happen, but tonight I was gonna make a quick run to the store and found a nice red puddle (thought it was brake fluid at first) around the left front wheel. I'd come home from the gym a few hours earlier, put her in the garage and that was it. The drive home had been rather vigorous the last mile or so but that's nothing new. After sticking my finger in the mysterious fluid, hoping it wassn't some dog with a urinary infection, it was obvious it wassn't brake or tranny fluid. A quick call to the next door neighbor who's a Carmax service manager (CTS-V driver), yielded that it was "Dexcool" coolant. GREAT!! A trip to the dealer tomorrow!! WEEEEE.... well there's a first time for eveything. We popped off the radiator cover, no clues there. Checked the overflow stick which was DRY, took the cap off the radiator and it was bout 6" low from the top. So we're both scratching our heads trying to figure out where that much fluid escaped from to no avail. I grabbed three bottles of Aquafina and topped everything back off... only the best will do. LOL Ok, just kidding, I wanted to know how much was actually gone and that was the easiest way to gauge it. Radiator was low almost a liter and the overflow took bout half liter.
So... anybody else have any ideas?
