About 2 weeks ago the radiator started leaking. Luckily I'm not losing a ton of coolant right now because the leak is very small and at the top of the radiator. I've been getting by topping off the coolant reservoir every day or 2 I drive (I check each time I drive, but sometimes don't need to top it off). I've also poured in various brands of stop leak but with no success.
So realistically, it doesn't appear the leak will stop any time soon. I can continue to add coolant when needed (I've successfully driven the car 3 or 4 times at highway speed for between 60 and 100 miles without trouble - also around town and to work and back). But all it takes is one time forgetting to top it off and the car is toast. Or even worse, the leak could grow - causing the car to toast.
I wish there was more to post right now, but there's not. There will however be an epic final journey post whenever that happens.
Under 6,000 miles to go.
