Definitely! The fact dye was added should tip you off. You shouldn't be losing any coolant at all. I've had mine for a year...not a drop gone. I would have them check for porous block..maybe head gasket leak. Demand to know WHY they added dye in the first place.

 

So any updates OP?

 

ya im going to have them check for porous block saturday. i have a feeling the existing owner relized he was losing coolant, had the dealership check it out. They probably added the dye ,used the black light and relized its not leaking externally and called it a day. But the fact being it could be an internal leak. Ive checked dipstick = normal oil color, ive checked under oil cap = very tiny bubbles but not much condensation, i have no visable external leaks and im defently not blowing any color smoke out of exhaust. This is what confuses me the most coolant disappearing but no signs of were its going lol. Lucky i spent the extra money and bought extended warranty has saved me some headaches already.

 

just got mine replaced under warranty

 

updated. the head gasket is blown, getting replaced under warranty

 

thats what they said about mine too and then got it back and was still leaking coolant so just keep an eye on it hopefully it is just that though

 

head was replaced along with head gasket. dealer said that was the issue. well $2400 later and 2 days after it was done. in the middle of west viginia mountains. LOW COOLANT its been about 4 months since the day it got fixed and ive had to add about 2 jugs of coolant total. its still losing it. no sign of leak. no overheating. highest its gotten is 201 and that was in 111 degrees. at a redlight. usually runs around 185-189 driving and 196 at idle. so i have no ******* clue. im damn sure not dishing out 4-6k for a new motor

 

yeah thats what they did to mine like i said above, took it back and got a new block. Take it back and ask them to explain to you how a factory defect is caused by mods.

 

You have a porous block..almos100% certain. You need to either see another dealer and/or contact GM customer service and raise HELL! Get all the info you can from here or elsewhere on the internet regarding POROUS BLOCK ISSUE and make copies. Dealer should run a die though the coolant and see where it winds up.

 

i mean if you really wanted to the guy that worked on my car is a member on here and maybe he can help you if you really wanna fight it

 

im not sure. i just checked. ive had to add about 1 1/4 jugs. and i havent had to add any in about 2 months. possibly air in the system? they might of filled it to the line and didnt run it so maybe it was low. idk. the bank will be getting the car soon anyway

 

could have been air from they replacd the head, if you havent had to consistantly fil it up then you should be fine

 

idk. it seems as if the cold is what is making it "disapear" they also did the die and found nothing. nothing is on the plugs. the oil cap is dry. no loss of power. ill be switchin to ford after this thing

 

should be fine then sounds like its fixed dont see how the cold would make it stop
