I was having a overheating problem. Found out that my heater core and radiator were leaking. I by-passed the heater core and replaced the radiator. No more over heating problems, at least not like before (they were daily). Even though my temp has been ok, I have noticed that my coolant overflow tank keeps running dry. So I have been regularly topping it off. I can not see any visible leaks and my oil looks clean and there is no visible exhaust. Any thoughts?

have you put paper under the car while it was parked and just reved it through the RPM range a few times once it got warmed up?

Have not done so yet, I will try it. May be it will point me in the right direction. I hoping it is the water pump. I have 80,000 miles on my current timing belt and water pump, so it is due for a change anyways. Thanks

then do your WP and timing belt first. You'll need to bleed the coolant system anyways.
You're also 20k past your belts expected life span, and if it goes that will be a major expense
