Hi all:

I noticed that the level of the coolant in the expansion tank keeps dropping after each day of driving. I tried looking everywhere to find the leak but nothing. Not even a smell.

Internal leak a possibility? If so, what would be the symptoms? I did check the oil, but the color was still healthy and thick with nothing milky.

Thoughts/suggestions?

Second question...if it does come to the need of getting a new head gasket, how would I know which is the right one for the engine I have under the hood? It is designated B18B, high compression type.

Thanks!!

-DS
