My 496 Mag HO is losing cooling fluid into the bilge. the system holds pressure does not leak during operation, but leaks out within 2 hours of stopping the engine.

the volume loss is usually less than 1 litter there is no sigh of where it leaks from.

Please help.

i would suggest cleaning the engine first

then looking for evidence of where the leak is coming from

there has to be an area that shows signs of coolant  residue

especially since the coolant is colored
