Is there a common fault or issue with the LS1 Monaro losing coolant? Had to top mine up a fair bit over the last few days. No sign of leaks or anything and the quantity isn't massive, an inch or two on the coolant reservoir.
Anyone else had this?

its usually from the plastic end tanks on the radiator, but if that looks fine, check all the hoses and hose clips

Replace the cap first they pack up with age & are cheap enough

Just replaced the rad in mine earlier this month as I had the same problem as you (04 VXR). All good now!

Mine decided to spill copious amounts out of both the radiator (1 litre every 10 mins) and the water pump (1 litre every couple of days) over the past couple of weeks.
