Question ...presureized system revealed pinhole leak in hose

[FONT="Fixedsys"] 79 245, new H2O pump installed ... Ive done this at least six times .. to my 76, 79 and 82 .... over the past 15 years.

installed .... carefully, as they have to be.

I AM LOOSING ABOUT THREE QUARTS OF WATER IN TWO MILES OF TRAVEL.

I cannot find where the leek is !!

Not a drop of water out of place can I find.
Today I poured about 8 gallons into her while driving around town.
Actually, I stopped the car first and then poured the water in.

I have called in my roommate to bear witness.

I should see water every where !

floor mats... dry
all around heater core ...dry
Heater contol valve, no leek.
pipe fitting behind manifold ...dry
input and out put heater hoses ... dry.
plastic tank, holds water well,
bottom and top hoses dry.
semi tricky gaskets around h20 pump .... tight...no leek
no sight of water out the tail pipe...
NO PUDDLE UNDER CAR ...not a drop !

come on guys ... this isn't funny any more .... and no, I'm not smoking crack...

oh wise one, where has all the water gone ?

It's sucking it out the head gasket. You can try to retorque the head, but probably you need a new head gasket.
