'89 FJ62 with 160k miles, stock everything except lift.
I notice no leaks around the radiator. Hoses seem to be snug and are not brittle. Oil is clean and clear on the dipstick (on the driveway is a different story). Coolant in the radiator is clean and clear and always seems to keep it's level. I've had to top off the resovoir several times in the past week. What gives? The resovoir doesn't appear to be cracked but I have not removed it to inspect and it did not leak after topping it off last night (I watched for a while). Could the radiator be leaking and it evaporates away before I notice it? If this were the case, I guess I wouldn't notice the same level at the rad. cap. Any help is appreciated. I have no idea where to go from here.
ps: sorry to add to the radiator threads but I didn't read anything in any of them (that I found) that seemed to match my story.
