low coolant/leak? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be volvoandvw on  Tue Nov 8 23:46 CST 2005 [RELATED]

My wife's 95 850 turbo's coolant light recently came on and I checked the coolant level and it was way below the "min" line. I then took it into a Volvo mechanic to get it pressure tested. Apparently, it checked out on the pressure test so I thought it was okay and just a freak event. The mechanic also topped it off to the "max" line. A week later, the coolant level is near the "min" line again.

Is it possible for the car to pass the pressure test but still leak coolant somewhere?

Thanks for your help.
