    I have a 2006 GP GT SC. When I bought the car the coolant was brown and clumpy, I had them flush it. During the winter it was fine, but lately I've been having to fill up the resivor. I can't figure out where it's leaking. I don't get any puddles under my car and hoses are dry when I check them. I thought for a second about a blown gasket but oil is normal? Why else would my reserve tank keep becoming empty?

    your Lower intake manifold gasket may be bad and you may be filling your oil galley up with coolant??

    No, do not put that stuff in your system, it will react with your dexcool and you'll be in trouble.
