Mysterious coolant loss...
Hey guys,
I intalled a helix UP/DP about 2 weeks ago and I seem to have a coolant dissapearance problem.
Following a spill during the install, followed by a retard at a shop spilling more coolant, I thought I was fine...rinsed the engine and bay out....no more steam or stank....
Now, it seems my coolant is disappearing at a very slow rate...the level in the clear can is going down slowly. There is no steaming, no noticable leaks, and no odd sounds (at least I don't think there are, everything is louder now...lol).
Any ideas what may be going on?
Oh btw the car has 43K on it...2003 WRX
Thanks for the help...

was the engine hot when you rinsed out the engine bay?
did you re-use the crappy spring clamps on the turbo coolant hoses? possibly one is a bit loose, hose clamps could fix it.
