I got my 80 about two months ago and I've already put 5k on it. It has run like a top. I'm really stoked!
However, I'm noticing that I'm losing coolant. I first noticed when I lifted the hood and there was a little spray seemingly from the radiator cap. I read that this can happen, so I wasn't too concerned.
I topped the coolant off and watched it again. I had a 750 mile trip today. About 1/3 of the way in, I popped it and saw the same spray, but coolant level was still alright. A few hundred miles later, I popped it and there was no new spray, but the coolant level was approaching low.
I'm not smelling coolant burning, nor do I see any obvious large leaks.
I've checked other threads, but I am fairly new to DIY auto work, so some of the acronyms immediately went over my head.
Any help or guidance is appreciated.
