Coolant loss

Hi,

The new, to me, classic Hi Ace camper, I recently bought, was using a lot of coolant. I couldn't see any leaks or smell at the exhaust. Not wanting to get into an engine tear down I purchased a bottle of Bars Leaks. Went to use it and the instructions said to drain and refill the cooling system. Bugger that is a very difficult thing to do, on this vehicle, so shelved the idea for another day.
That night I had a brain wave, as to why I was losing coolant, with no visible signs, maybe the radiator cap was letting it boil off. Checked the next day and the cap rubbers were as stiff as. Went to my local auto shop, bought a new cap and, voila, no more loss.

I'm a happy camper, now.

Herb
