Losing coolant

Hey guys,

My engine seems to be losing coolant at an alarming rate. Most recent mod was a set of jet-hot long tubes. Note that there is no coolant on the ground, ever--it just seems to vanish...I know that probably doesn't sound good. Also, it seems to be using oil (I use Amsoil or Mobil 1) which it never did before.

I fill the coolant and a week later the low coolant light goes off...

Thanks in advance.

Re: Losing coolant

Do a compression test or pressure test your cooling system, I bet you will be doing headgaskets.
