    water use

    Fellas my 92 TB42E duel fuel. It seems to use a bit of water and I can't find the cause. I have checked the hoses,radiator and overflow bottle. It sucks water back from the overflow bottle but usually have to top it up every couple days. No water in the oil either. I did think of adding bars leaks or similar but thought I would check with the forum wisdom first.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Does it get hot? Any noticeable smell of coolant in the engine bay?
