constantly refilling coolant..

This has happened twice now, I just flushed the system, and refilled the resoivor with fresh coolant. The overflow valve seems to drip what seems non stop. There are no other leaks, anywhere. Come the 3rd day I have to refill resoivor again to the upper line. bone dry in there.

I heard somthing about getting it pressure tested. Is this gonan be a major job? Any ideas of what may be happening?

Id appreciate any positive input.,

When you refilled, did you "burp" the system according to manual?

How's the weep hole near the impeller cover on the clutch cover?

Mechanical seal could be weeping?
