[Shotimes] still losing coolant

[Paul L Fisher]

Have you done a compression test? Is your oil cloudy? If there are no
obvious wet spots, head gasket?

Other than that, one place that is notorious on SHO's and Tauri in general
is where the heater hoses go into the heater core. They spray just enough
that it goes in the heater core box and leaves no obvious dripping. In that
case, however, the smell is usually fairly pronounced.

My 91 winter driver has been losing coolant.  There's no puddle under it,
and when I inspect the engine bay after driving, I see no obviously wet
areas.  I have replaced a bunch of the hoses.

There are at-home systems for checking coolant leaks --- fluorescent dye
package and special inspection lamp.  What's the best package and where to
buy it?  Recommendations please!  Thanks.
