Hello
I guess I need to jump in here one of these days. I have a '36 Roadster that I have brought out of storage after nearly 40 years. After going thru the carb and distributor, having the water pumps rebuilt by Skip, cleaning the fuel system etc. she fired right up and seems to run smoothly. The problem is it looses coolant after just a few miles and cannot figure out where it goes. There are no apparent leaks. I do get what I hoped was condensation out the exhaust but maybe it's bad news. The liquid does not have the green tint of the coolant. What should I do next?
Thanks in advance for your input.
