I can't find a leak anywhere. Not going in or out of the manifold, the reservoir, the t-fitting, the fittings by the front mount, the intercooler itself. I fear it might be leaking into the engine but the engine seems to be running fine. Does anyone know what else it could be? I'd hate to have to take the manifold back off. I'm closer to just pulling the kit and being done with it. cc: @ mines13

If you losing a bottle worth of coolant per day, you may have the same problem I had.
Suggest you attend to it ASAP as if you are leaking into the manifold, the coolant goes direct into the ports and dries around the valves.
Only way take kit off and have your cooler pressure tested, I had a leak from the oring on the inside the core.
If you have a dyno nearby, put your car on and do a power run as the car under pressure will cause the boost into the coolant bottle forcing coolant out the bottle cap.
The other possibility could be a cracked core, leaking into manifold.
I accidentally deleted my videos in error, could have given you idea what to look for.
Don't delay, before something serious happens.
