2008 Infiniti G35x Coolant Leak
Car has been leaking coolant. Occasionally
finding spots under the rear drivers side of the
engine. Found a spot today near under the
reservoir. Having to top off every 2-3 days.
“Mild” white smoke from exhaust, but it’s also cold
in Cleveland and might just be the air temperature.
First mechanic pressure tested coolant system,
found no leak and sent me on my way.
Second mechanic flushed and refilled. Said
coolant was very bubbly. And mentioned that it
“might be” the head gasket. Ended up losing heat
and having to top off coolant 3 days later.
Third mechanic pressure tested coolant and found
no leak. Then performed a combustion leak test
and found no leak (he used that chemical stuff that
changes color). Said he thought that ruled out the
head gasket. He said he had no idea where the
leak was coming from. $100 spent. He gave me
a bottle of K-Seal to try.
Heater does not smell and there is no dampness in
the floorboards. I marked my reservoir bottle
coolant level and it doesn’t appear to go up or
down even when we run low on coolant.
Anybody have any other ideas? Looks like it’s up
to me (and hopefully you) if three mechanics can’t
find it.
