Well, I DID discover that the coolant was way down. I filled her up to the top of the overflow tank, and that did the trick.

I know I have a leak someplace, obviously from the coolant level being low. I couple of months ago I had to add stopleak into the traes in mnny because it was leaking like a sieve, so I always check the place where it is parked now.

The odd thing was i haven't seen any coolant on the ground, although I get a whiff of coolant when I run the heater, so there is a leak somewhere. I will just have to be careful and monitor it more closely. A bottle of antifreeze now lives in my trunk alomg with some oil and tranny fluid.

"Ugly Betty" has new tires and brand new rear breaks, and she is a winter car. I wouldn't mind finding an afforable 740. I have gotten to like the little luxuries. Remember, my other car is a "67 122 wagon, so even a bashed in 740 with a coathanger sticking out where the antenna used to be, with the headliner coming down is a luxury to me!
