I have noticed that I’m having to top up the coolant after really long journeys. I thought it was air escaping after refilling the system following a flush. I did change most components in the cooling system. but I’m beginning to think it’s coolant I’m losing. The carpets are dry in the foot wells and I did a chemical test to check for exhaust gases in the coolant and it came back normal. Perhaps one of the jubilee clips isn’t tight enough and a bit is getting out. There is never any coolant under the car and it seems I only notice a drop in the level once the car has cooled down after a big drive. Waterpump isn’t leaking as far as I can see, I changed that as well.

Thanks!
