Hi, I notice with my XJ that after a few weeks it lost or consumed about 2-3 liters of cooling liquid. In addition, the cooling water is rust-colored. When I bought the car, I noticed that the whole engine was covered with this dried rust paint, but it could be washed off well. A mechanic said that water might be squeezed out at some clamp and distributed on the engine at wind. Since I have the XJ and drive (half of a J ahr) but this rust-colored dust has no longer settled on the engine, but he apparently loses water anyway. He does not smoke white or otherwise out of the exhaust, engine runs top. I looked yesterday, after filling up water two weeks ago the stand is still ok, the water temperature was just below 100 degrees, is still normal or? Does anyone know what that could be? Why is the water rusty and why does it consume cooling water from time to time??
