So i was under the car changing these:

(to think... i was driving around with tie rods that bad lol)
And...
my car ate coolant again.
Now last time, it put the same amount of coolant it ate, back, about 3 weeks later.
but that time the entire motor was DRY as a bone.
This time has the same symptoms as the first occurrence, except the bottom of the motor is covered in muck (oil, grease, and MAYBE coolant) all in different spots.
i checked around the heads and they seem fine for the most part..
I did a compression test in mid-November, and came up with consistent readings on all cylinders.
For those of you that don't know i did my LIM's and all upper gaskets in Late April and haven't had any problems since. I've also bled the shht out of the coolant system, so there isn't any air in the system (to my knowledge.)
The Car isn't performing any differently than it normally does. It will reek of coolant sometimes, but when i pop the hood to try and figure out why and how its doing it, the smell completely disappears and the whole top and sides of the engine are totally DRY.
Now...
The 1st time the car did this, i was just as worried as I am now up until the time when it returned the coolant into the resivour and went back to 'normal'
So...
should i just brush this off as nothing, again...
or should i try and figure out what is causing this odd phenomena...
I shot this video when i was under the car doing the tie rods, its sort of cruddy and doesn't truly depict of how much it was wet under there, but to me it most definitely looks like there is something leaking... (Oil level is fine, and if the coolant gets put back again, then i'm clueless lmaoo)
But i hope this might help..
