Engine Cooling problem
1983 Toyota Pickup 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

Great stuff on this website and repair forum -- I've learned that it's reasonable to be facing a $900 repair bill today after losing coolant like crazy this past week (but seeing no leaks).

What else should I make sure my mechanics check before I get my truck back? I'm putting about 300 miles on it a week and that's going to double soon.

Cheers

If no visable leaks, then it is burning it, have the mechanics perform a compression test, if OK, then pressure test the cooling system.
