Hey all, my EL I6 Falcon is starting to lose coolant at a semi rapid pace! I know i have a slight head leak, if i filled coolant to the full mark, the coolant light would turn on, after about a months driving.
But lately i noticed something. Below the exhuast manifold, bottom of the block, i see coolant sitting on parts of the block.
Theres not enough there to see a visual leak on the ground, but enough to prove there is a leak.
Now im gonig throught after a fill of the overflow tank, the coolant light has now turned back on a week later!
Definatley get it checked out quick before you have a snowball of problems! One of my problems use to be just a little missing water and now I got major drama's
i got a friend who use to work for a ford dealer, he said when changing a gasket, you need the head machine and pressure tested just to be sure, this alone cost like 500 bucks if i remember right.
As I have not seen the car this is only a thought. Check the heater tap under the manifold they have a small bleed hole and when they pack in coolant will pass through this hole. Cost of new tap 10$.
