Noticed coolant loss and high temp but can locate no external leaks. No vapor or steam from exhaust to indicate internal leak and no coolant in engine or transmission oil. Have topped off the radiator several times and perhaps now have all air out to the system. After last long test drive with A/C on, coolant level in the radiator is full after complete cool down.
I am wondering if I have the correct radiator cap. When I purchased the cap approximately 6 months ago, I asked for a cap for the correct year and model etc. I did notice a number stamped into the cap which is 6.0. No indication of what the number refers to and I doubt this Pathfinder would use less than a 13 to 15 PSI cap. If this number (6.0) refers to PSI, then I believe it is rated too low. Maybe that would account for a slow coolant loss.
Any ideas on this loss of coolant?
