Hello ,

I just bought a '95 960 with 190K km on the dial. The car is pretty clean. However the oil looked like chocolate milk...so I promptly changed it out with Penzoil high mileage 10/30. The power steering hose directly beneath the pump looks like it was leaking at the joint at one time. So might have to switch it out too.
But the latest problem is that coolant seems to be disappearing somewhere. If I top up the resevoir it seems to not move.. for days...then 2 weeks later...all of a sudden...the coolant light comes on. I pop the hood...and its back on the Min..line. I had the coolant replaced 2 weeks ago too. Any ideas where it could be going? I looked at the oil cap...no foam..although it still doesnt look completely healthy yet ( i imagine car has lots of sludge build up) I will change to synthetic in a few thousand KM..the latest oil change is more like a flushing out of the engine.
I think the rad is relatively new..no apparent leaks that I can see...Any ideas?

Thanks

Baka
