Default Coolant Loss

Hello,

My CRV 97 with 152 K miles is regularly losing coolant at about 1 reservoir tank amount every two weeks. There are no water puddles on the ground or discoloration of engine fluids. I just replaced the radiator tank. My radiator cap is original. Timing belt and water pump replaced at 100K miles. Any comment is appreciated.
My other Hondas are Accord 95 EX 4dr 180K miles, Odyssey 97 142K miles, Accord 98 EX 4dr 100K miles.
Thanks

That's quite a bit.

Have you looked when engine is hot and under pressure as maybe it's not leaking when it's parked and cold etc.

take a look at the oil fill cap, ck to see if there is any moisture or discoloration in the cap. if you remove your spark plugs, see if there is an almost white, clean burning plug. with the milage you have, it may be seeping in through the head gasket an burning it. Also check on a cool day if there is more moisture burn out of your exhaust pipe then normal. if you do a leak down compression check and keep your radiator cap open, seeping air will bubbleout through the radiator
