This is my issue as well.

When stone cold (sitting for 24+ hours), the radiator itself is down ~2" and the overflow tank is halfway between min and max.

When hot, obviously I don't open the rad cap, but the overflow is about 1/4" above max. That's a huge variation between cold and hot coolant levels.

I haven't had the time to have the compression tested by a trusted mechanic yet, but I'm still planning on it.
