Default car dumped a bunch of coolant again

odd. some sort of sporadic leak, because coolant level is fine, then all of a sudden, WHAM, i lose like 2 quarts.

nothing in garage, nothing in parking space, so either only vapor or only during driving.

Default Mine seems to sparaticly dump coolant too.

Car has been parked for about 4 weeks. Every couple of days I find a HUGE puddle of coolent under the front of the car.

A few days will go by with nothing and then all of the sudden the puddle comes back. Keep in mind this is with ZERO driving.

EDIT: LOL, received it right after I posted. Thanks. I was expecting more, time to tweak and try again. Thanks again.

Default if no coolant is visible in the engine compartment..

get a compression test done.

your problem sounds exactly what was happening to my car...which is now in the process of getting the engine pulled apart to determine whether the coolant leak is from a cracked head gasket or worse.
