Just curious,it seems that I am losing water somewhere because I have to bi-weekly replace water in my overflow bottle,and i'm not losing it anywhere,no leaks,and no water in the oil.

White Smoke from tail pipe and over heating. Also when you change your oil look for something that resembles a milkshake.

My BHG leak was so tiny that it used only a small amount of coolant every week or two. But I really knew it was there when I went on an extended drive, say an hour or two. It would build up so much pressure in the cooling system that it would overfill the plastic bottle by 2x.

I tried all the patches, prayer, and re-torque, etc. After 3 months of fooling around, I pulled the head. I found a tiny spot where combustion gasses were leaking INTO the cooling system between #5 & 6 cyl. :icon_mad:
