I hate to ask!!! 700 89

posted by  someone claiming to be steve mahnken on  Tue Feb 20 10:54 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I've got an 89 760T w/108K miles. The car is running great! Unfortunately, I seem to be loosing coolant with no appearant leak :( I do not ever see any white smoke (steam) out of the tailpipe and I can't rule out a slow leak that tends to blow away but may not leak when parked. Just in case, I was wondering if I could be leaking at the head gasket and still be running this good? I did a compression test recently and it ran about 150 +/- 3 PSI. I'm going to repeat the test to make sure. The next question would be, If I do have a small leak at the head gasket, do you think I may be able to re-torque the head bolts enough to take care of it? I know the car uses the yielding type of head bolts which would normally mean you can't but I still think you may be able to squeek a little more out of them.

Thanks for stopping by, sorry for the length.

Steve

P.S. Boost is at 8.5 PSI
