Seem to be losing coolant

[Topdog]

Hi all

I've noticed that my Almera is losing coolant, having to keep topping it up every 2-3 weeks. Only had the issue since my X-Member was replaced. There is no whitish smoke from the exhaust and no obvious leaks anywhere. A friend thinks its either the Water Pump or possible an Air Lock and which simply needs draining and refilling.

I'm not mechanically minded myself so I'm wandering how easy it is to to either or how much its going to cost.

If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

I don't see how the water pump with no leaks or an airlock would cause you to lose coolant.

Check the clips on the radiator hoses and the hoses themselves, especially the bottom radiator one. You may not notice it leaking out when you are driving and its under pressure.

It'll be what Hally is saying. The cars heating coolant system will have bled itself by now.

Thanks, I'll get straight on it
