Manacharger Coolant Disappears
My Magnacharger coolant reservoir seems to lose about ¼ of the water a day. I can’t find a leak anywhere. I am beginning to think maybe the internal intercooler is leaking and I’m actually losing water into the engine. Anybody ever heard of that?
The only other thing I can come up with is a leak near something hot that evaporates the water because I can’t find any evidence of a leak and there is never any water on the ground.
The part that is really odd is that once it gets down to about half empty, it stops losing water as quickly. Then it takes several days to go from ½ empty to empty.
The only way I can see to fix this for sure is to put a forged 408 in the truck and buy a bigger blower with a new reservoir tank and hoses.

Can you unhook the coolant lines, plug one and pressurized the other line to hear where it's leaking? I imagine you could isolate the head unit and just pressurize it and see if it leaks down.
At least if it's the gaskets, it's a simple fix while your building your 408. :-)
