Q: Coolant keeps magically disappering...
No leaks are present underneath the car. I took it to NTB and they did a pressure test, no sign of a leak. They replaced my upper radiator hose and did a coolant flush. I thought all was fixed on my car until about 2 weeks later, I was driving and my cars' temperature went all the way to hot and my air conditioning instantly stopped. I pulled over and waited for the engine to cool off and looked at coolant level and again, all of my coolant was gone. Where is the coolant going if there is no leaks?? What may be the issue with it magically disappearing??
My car has 95000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
