2000 2.3t lpt Wagon manual - 93K
Coolant message came on SID on Friday while driving home from work. When I got home, let engine cool and filled.
Saturday, while driving from Denver to Vail, coolant message came on again (100 mile trip - message came on with about 20 miles to go). Didn't drive again until this morning (Sunday) after filling to top with water.
Drove 5 miles to auto parts store in Vail and put in Bar's stop leak along with real coolant (not much had disappeared in the 5miles). I then drove vehicle for recommended 15 minutes to circulate gunk.
Drove vehicle home to denver without incident. Just checked coolant level (let sit for 1.5 hrs) and it is at bottom of marker in the overflow tank (top of marker says Kalt/Cold) bottom of marker doesn't say anything.
What gives? Radiator leak? Anyway to check? What will it cost to fix, as I'm not DIY type. Oh yeah, water pump was replaced about 6 months ago.
Thanks in advance!
