Hi all,


I have an 85 Westy, no visible leaks externally. I leak tested it with 14
PSI no external leaks, but after a couple hours the gauge shows a small drop
in pressure.  After some driving (~200 km) the level in the antifreeze
container(not the overflow container) is down a wee bit, and the gauge light
blinks at startup for quite a while.  I have always used the blue VW
antifreeze since 1985.  The mileage is 190000 km (~120000 miles).
Does anyone know where the antifreeze is going?


Thanks,


Alfred
85 Westy
