If it’s leaking coolant to the outside, which is possible, you’re not going to see anything strange in the oil or the cooling system, and oil analysis won’t tell you anything. It could be a slow enough seep that will evaporate before leaving anything on the ground. In the case of a V engine, it could leak into the valley under the intake manifold and not be visible until the manifold is removed.


To anger a conservative, lie to him. To annoy a liberal, tell him the truth.
