Default Losing Anti-Freeze

I have a 1992 Camry (LE) with 220K miles that is losing the cooling fluid (anti-freeze). There are no visible leaks detected. It seems like its just evaporating in the engine. Everyday I've been adding
about a gallon of water/anti-freeze into the radiator becuase its dehydrating. Has anyone
out experience this problem or know of what can be cuasing it. Please HELP!!!


Thanks
Al

I also had same thing and it turned out to be the freeze plug in the back of the engine. The leak goes down by the back of the hot engine and just evaparates so you never physically see any leak on the floor.

Mine had 2 freeze plug bad and guy charged me $130 to fix it at local garage. Dealer wanted a lot and so did other repair places. I can see about four freeze plug in the front of engine and I guess another 4 in the back of engine.

You could have repair place do pressure test to find where leak is coming from...
