I keep finding coolant missing. Cant find the leak, not coming out the D-gas bottle or none of the hoses or heater core. Have any Ideas?? I have the EGR delete done and no leaks there.

Less then a quart +/- a week normal driving. If I pull a heavy load 2 or more quarts. I can smell the coolant sitting at a light then it goes away. This is a new motor with studded heads and a EGR delete. Theres no signs of any coolant trails any were on the motor I even die packed the coolant and used a black light, Nothing. Check the oil it's clean, trans. is clean too. :dunno
If I cant find this, I have to go back up to Bill and have him look for it.
Motor running cool not over heating.

Heater core, even though you said you don't think so?
If you can smell it, it's got to be leaking somewhere..

That was what I was thinking so, I blocked off the lines. Still doing it. It's really strong smelling under the hood in the front but no luck finding it. I'm thinking I'm going to have to pull the front loose and get to the water pump area and look it over really good. You really cant see anything with that big fan shroud in the way.
