98 Caravan Consuming Coolant by rgincanada

Hi all,
 
I own a 1998 Caravan (aka "The Thunderwagon") with 310,000 kms on it, and it seems to have developed an appetite for coolant. I don't ever see fluid under the vehicle, but after a long drive there is an odor of coolant around the engine.
 
In the last month or so, the amount of coolant has risen significantly, and I am topping up with water almost every time I take it out. It seems like it only leaks when the thermostat is open?
 
If it was leaking into the crankcase at this rate there would be more water than oil there and this is not the case.
 
Any low $ suggestions? This is now an intermittently used second vehicle that sees less than 5000 km/year
 
The engine is on its third set of heads after repeated lifter failures.I'd like to nurse this vehicle through one more winter, and then send it to that great Autobahn in the sky.

Ahhh, I figured as much given your comment about replacing the heads. Unfortunately I have no hands-on experience with that motor, hopefully someone else will chime in here.
 
Best Regards,
Shipo

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a 98 Voyager. The fan motor started to make some noise a couple of months ago. Then it stopped. I would hit the dash above the radio and it would start working. Now it has stopped all together. Hitting the dash had always worked. The fan motor is quite aways away from where I would hit the dash, so I'm not sure that is the problem. The control head had been replaced probably 4 years ago or so. That little piece is not cheap! Any help would be appreciated.

If it started making noise prior to failure, I would suspect it is the motor itself, but you would have to test the lines to verify that.

My 2001 Chrysler Town & Country has a problem with rusty metal coolant lines that are the supply and return for the rear auxilary heater. Is it okay to cut out the rusty section of metal lines and connect it with a good quality rubber hose and clamp?
 
Thanks,
 
Steve
