So I have refilled my coolant resevoir for my supercharger like 3 times in the last month. What the hell is going on? Where is it going? I dont see it coming out of anywhere. help!

I have sent his gremlins to rob you of all your coolant..

Na, that is a mystery though!

I hope it is not leaking inside your intake manifold!

It probably is just leaking at one of the connections somewhere. Mine does that a little, you can smell it though and see a tiny tiny leak where I didn't tighten one of my connections enough. I will get around to fixing it one day, lol.

I smell it sometimes. But I still cant find the leak.

I have the EXACT same problem. I just disconnected the reservoir pump until I can get TC to look at it. I ended up having to refill it every day for like 3 days so I decided to unplug it.

Do you think it may be the pump? Also if I ran it dry for a for a few days is my pump f*cked?

If you don't see anything externally, then it is leaking internally. Most likely leaking through the bolt holes and into your intake manifold. A small slow leak won't really damage anuthing (just possibly foul your plugs). Larger leaks will make it run rough and you'll be blowing some smoke.

The Alpine intercoolers are sealed rather crappily from the manufacturer. They just use silicone sealant between the outer plate and the intercooler, and the intercooler and the manifold. Mine was leaking pretty bad when I got it and it was going in through the bolt holes. Internal leak that you'll never see anything outside. Just go to an autoparts store and buy some rubber-based gasket material and slowly and patiently cut out your own gaskets. It will seal MUCH better.

I dont blow smoke. So what else?

When your pump dries it will make a huge grinding noise and you will feel a big vibration. That's how I knew mine was empty.

Mine doesnt do anything. I dont hear anything. Also when I turn it on the pump doesnt suck the fluid from the resevoir.

Well then what has probably happened is the pump shaft seal on the pump failed, which would cause coolant to fill the pump and fry the motor. If not, your heat exchanger in your intake manifold could have gone bad, and started leaking. Either way, quit posting on here, and fix the damn car LOL....it's an easy fix.

just buy an icebox set-up, that will solve the leak....

Im still trying to figure out what to fix!
