What R Symptoms of Bad Coolant Seals?
I have been battling a long coolant problem i was getting an annoying buzzer constantly so i replaced radiator cap, water pump, and thermostat. I have to say the buzzer has not gone off quite as much. I have burped it several times and it seems to last for about 1 day then the buzzer is going off again, i check the coolant level and it is about 1/2 pint low. I have aftermarket temp gauge and i am not overheating while buzzer is going. It seems that it only goes off when i'm stopped, but i burped it and it would buzz at stops, when i got home i popped the hood and i noticed my loss coolant is going to my overflow coolant reservoir, and bubbles/air is coming out of the overflow down tube? Please Help?What R the syptoms of blown coolant seals. my car smokes for about 1-2 minutes in the morning and after i park it and come back 10 hrs after work it doesn't smoke at all it's only the first start of the day. The bubbles in the coolant tank are also intermittent but get worse the longer i drive? my overflow tank is fillingup and overflowing and i have to empty it is it a bad radiator, or what please helpl must get to work.

If you have no leaks and your overflow lines are sealed and returning coolant to the radiator upon cooling off instead of the overflow tank just dumping out coolant, then most likely you have bad coolant seals.
A cheap fix (sometimes) is to use Evans coolant after using some cooalnt system sealant (Bars for ex) and then flushing your system. Your coolant system is under pressure with normal coolant/water and this pressure can contributes to the consumption of your coolant. Evans runs with zero pressure and eliminates that problem. The downside is that it will only work if the leak is minor and evans is not cheap at ~$30 a gallon.
Good luck.
