they leak oil, not coolant. And when they do leak coolant it is really obvious.
To do a cheap cooling system test -- fill coolant level when cold. drive car 10 minutes. Turn off car. remove cooling fan fuses. Install scan tool to monitor actual engine temp. Start car and run until temp gets to 230 degrees f. Turn off car. Look for coolant leaks, but do not touch anything -- when a hose blows up with 230 degree coolant escaping you do not want to be any near it. Use this test at your own risk, it can be lethal. Let the car sit until it's cold. Look for leaks. Some leaks are only active when the car is really cold, like not driven for 2 or 3 days. And sometimes the coolant trolls come in the middle of the night and drink it, leaving no trace.
