One other thing - it seems to leak more when it is just sitting.
Might be short on the full evidence for this, but it was dripping a lot when I went and looked at it - car had been sitting since monday.
Went and got come coolant, put it in, still dripping. Drove a bit more, got the car fully warmed up, and now I went out and looked and there are no drips under the car.
Is it possible that when the thermo is closed, the water builds up there and leaks out faster, but when it is warmed up, the fluid keeps flowing?
CAMSNA - to answer your question - at first it was only something like a quart after a long drive, but then since monday, it seems to have lost 1/2 gallon.
I have always been checking it before any long drive lately. I drive 100 miles two days/week right now.
