Hello All. I've been steady working through my new-to-me '89 ranger and have had an odd issue that I can't seem to find a solution for. I go through quite a bit of coolant (about 3/4 - 1 gallon a month) but I can't figure out where it's going? It is leaking transmission fluid for sure, but it doesn't leak any coolant underneath that I can see anywhere. The tailpipe is nice and dry and it doesn't smoke or anything either. The radiator looks new and I've replaced the transmission coolant lines as they were leaking very slightly. All the other fluids remain fine, with the exception of occasionally adding ATF but certainly no fluid levels are increasing. It idles and runs great so for the time being I've just been watching the level and adding when needed. I'm finally getting through the other punch list items and so just wanted to pick the brilliant minds here for any possible suggestions? Thanks!
