Title: coolant????
Post by jansengeorge on Feb 28^th, 2011, 5:56pm

I'm getting loss of coolant about 1 pint every 150 miles. Car is not overheating and no visible signs of where it's leaking?

What model is it? If it is the 24v check the bottom of the radiator for possible ballooning

Put the overflow pipe in a small bottle and see if it overflows into it. Check your gearbox oil and level. Worst case senario it's leaking into the gearbox via the radiator.

Check to see if there is any coolant or coolant residue running from under the header tank towards the headlight....if so, then the header tank has split underneath (common problem) :)

Mmm...wonder if his F-150 is the Lightning version 8)

Anyone thought of dropping a supercharged F-150 Lightning engine ( 5.4 V8 I think ??? ) into a Scorpio ;)
