Hey guys, have a 98 12.7l in a century class. I’m having a real hard time diagnosing a coolant leak. Checked all radiator hoses, tubes, heater core hoses and don’t find any leaks or puddles on ground. I’ll lose about 2 gallons in about 6-8 hours of driving and about a gallon over night when I’m parked with it off. Anyone that can give me any tips before having a mechanic checking it out? It has power, no smoke out exhaust, no coolant in oil. Truck runs great besides this issue. Has about 400k on in frame. Thanks I’m advance.

What's your engine oil level like? How about the transmission level?
Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
does it have EGR? i saw a video of the EGR cooler being the mystery coolant thief but it wasn't a '98. where can that much coolant go and not be filling up the oil pan or becoming smoke

Air operated valve for the bunk heater. If it leaks it will dribble out while going down the road.

Bad air compressor blowing it out the dryer. Have seen it but cannot imagine that amount and not seeing it somewhere.

How long would a truck continue to run with that much dilution of coolant in fuel?
2nd question - how much would a transmission hold if it was going in there?cke, Another Canadian driver, BoxCarKidd and 2 others Thank this.
