seems that the issue is the plastic side-tank radiator. After weeks of mysteriously vanishing, I found a pool of fluid under the car. I traced it to the starboard plastic side-tank of the rad. I could hear it sizzling and found trace liquid along the seams.

Ordered a replacement from FCP. Premium shipping was insanely high, but free ground will put it on my front porch tomorrow.

It seems a little buried, but I replaced one of these on my 1995 940 a couple years ago. Interested in any tips of course, but I'm not too worried about making this repair.

I traced the fluid loss on the 940 to several horizontal cracks in the expansion tank lid. Replaced that and it was solved instantly.
