I'm dealing with a 2016.5 CX-5. 117K miles.
The water level in the radiator is dropping. Maybe 16 oz. per a few hundred miles. Mechanic doesn't know where it's going. He pressure tested without finding a leak. He wants to replace hoses. Stands to reason if hoses were bad, it would've leaked during the test, right? No leaks are visible after driving it.
Also the level in the recovery tank is at normal full. He doesn't know why it isn't refilling the system.
Other than finding a new mechanic, the mystery is where the water's going? This doesn't sound normal to me. I'm a pretty mechanical kind-of-guy. but I wasn't a mechanic by trade.
Thanks for any suggestions.
