Hey,
I seem to be slowly losing water/coolant out of my EF sedan. I had a good check over it and none of the hoses are split or anything. Also checked and changed the oil, found no traces of water. Anyone know where it could possibly be going? thanks

In its digestive system or its evaporating along the side of the block underneath the exhaust.

had the same prob with my old el (now gone) it was a welch plug under the last exhuast extractor( slowly seeping) Put in a tin of bars leaks and see if this stops it ....good stuff will even fix minor head warps / cracks.

put a pressure tester on it and look for leaks.
if it has coolant in it it will have stained the area where it has leaked form. just remmember there are still many hoses under the manifold u cant see. also your heater core inside the cabin could be leaking. take it to a mechanic for a free quote most will do it htese days.

Core plugs as well, look for coolant stains on the block.
