Reservior Coolant level decerease was created by Spiteri

Hello everyone,

I have a Suzuki Jimny 1998, with 146,000km on the clock and over the past months I am having to top up my Coolant Reservior with Coolant every 2 to 3 days. The coolant in the Radiator does not decrease only the reservior coolant decreses.

Has anyone had this issue or know what I can do to fix it ?

Thanks in advance.

That's what will happen with any leak - coolant from the reservoir will be sucked in to replace that lost from the cooling circuit.

Check all hoses and the water pump for blue residue (assuming original Suzuki coolant) indicating where the leak is. If you can't find an external leak, suspect the head gasket. Any substantial head gasket leak will cause white steam from the exhaust even when the engine is fully warmed up and the weather isn't icy cold.
