Hi everyone,
I have been noticing that my coolant has been slowly decreasing over time at the rate of H to L on the overflow tank every 1k miles. The GX is a 2010 and has had the radiator replaced but looking through the service records it looks like the original water pump and thermostat are still in there at 150k miles.
Things Ive checked:
Front Skid Plate / Frame directly under water pump - No Pink Stains
Top side looking down into the water pump is hard to see but I could not see any pink stains either
Transmission Pendulum area from the underneath - Ive heard that this could have coolant if the valley plate is leaking - no leaks
The radiator that was used during the replacement is NOT OEM and the cap is also NOT OEM. I went ahead and ordered an OEM radiator cap to see if this makes any difference.
I am planning to replace the water pump and thermostat my self in the next few months. Any ideas on this ?
Thanks,
