[happy]

on my 02 gts i finally got some nice weather and started driving it, and i noticed my coolant in the over flow bottel by my wheel well was a little low, i couldnt see any inside when i looked in it. So i added about 1 liter and tonight i looked in it and i cant see much in it again. but there is a brand new overflow tank in my bumper i looked in there and it didnt look liek there was any in it either???? My oil is clean, i do get alot of condinsation out the exhaust on start up, but maby it just wasnt quite full when the shop but it all back together..

Where did you add the coolant?

Well, I have read your post several times...worrisome...including questions on the car's past history. That said, simple answer is (with a cold motor) take time today to fill the pressure bottle (has the "radiator cap") to the base of the neck, then fill "overflow bottle"(thru the hose that you remove from just under "radiator cap"...being sure to reconnect it before starting engine!!!) in the nose to the half way point on the inspection port slit in front of the inner edge of the right front tire. I personally would add a new "radiator cap". Make sure you mark the coolant levels, drive it, watching temps..charting levels in both places that you filled.

Is there any chance that you car is filled with water??? If the fluid has no color, you can't always tell level in nose bottle.
Any drips?

Plan several drive cycles to see if this works or fails.

Complex answer...take if to a real Viper Tech.

Since it's a weekend, call me if you like for better directions and info.
