2009 Lexus RX350, it failed the pressure test but we still couldn’t figure out where the leak is. He tested the head gasket it came back inconclusive, we can look into this further but it’s going to be even more expensive. It’s not in the oil, there’s no white smoke, I haven’t noticed external leaks, not in the transmission fluid either.
First started a little over a month ago when I noticed the reservoir was empty when we were traveling. We decided to do a radiator flush and bled the system then continued to check it until we could make it back home to the mechanic. It never leaked again and he told me to just take it home and keep an eye on it. Yesterday I went to check the coolant for the first time in 3 days (I haven’t driven much) and the reservoir was empty and the radiator is super low. I’m going to refill it and take it in but I’m unsure what the issue could be and where this could be going?? Anyone have other ideas to check?
If you can’t find a leak then it’s most likely going out the exhaust.
Easiest way to test that you could do now is smelling the exhaust. Coolant will make it smell sweet
