Hi

I seam to have a coolant loss in my '84 GTV6 and Im not absolutely
sure where it is.
I have seen some dripping once from the right side of the radiator
but Im not really sure that this is the source.
>From time to time I hear a gurgling sound (I assume its from the
heater)
and I have to fill up with coolant.

Is this just a leak?? Is it my radiator or my coolant overflow bottle??
Is there a block in my cooling system??

Greetings

A very worthwhile tool to quickly trace these leaks is a cooling-system
pressure tester. It is a hand pump with a set of adapters for different
depth filler necks. Hook it up, pump it up, then listen and watch for
leaks. I bought one at a swap meet and have saved many hours of work and
frustration with it. For me, it has found leaking water pumps, a warped
water-manifold, bad hoses, loose hose clamps and more.
