Poor MINI

dropped my MCC off at Sterling this morning because the Coolant Tank was empty, and I don't even have 20k miles yet. Got a call a bit ago saying they can't find any leaks so they need to keep it overnight. Driving around in a dodge calibur loaner (ewww).

Aww, that sucks. Should be an easy enough thing to fix though. Coolant leaves a trail, so it shouldn't be too hard to track down the problem!

Right or your car is slowly eating coolant as mine was. My coolant expension tank was half full when I sold it.

Ever do an oil analysis to see if it was getting by the head gasket?

Well

Mini of Sterling couldn't find anything wrong with my coolant tanks, though they did call last night to tell me my front tires were below specs and I should have them replaced at the cost of 700 dollars for two tires and an alignment. Needless to say I declinded.
