01 V70XC 100k miles. Last coolant change at 60k along with thermostat.
Been chasing a really low level coolant leak somewhere and haven't found it. Put in fluorescent dye and don't see anything yet. Looked above and below the engine as well as the pipes going into/out of the heater core. The coolant reservoir isn't moving much recently so maybe the leak stopped.
The bigger mystery is.. why does my coolant temperature gauge show lower than normal temperature randomly by say 1 tick mark on the gauge. It never goes above normal (about middle of the gauge) What would that indicate?
Been holding off the coolant flush until I find the leak.
