I have a coolant leak somewhere in the system. I have changed the thermostat along with the gasket, and the water pump. I also changed the heater core. The water pump had a slight leak and the heater core was leaking. I changed them and flushed the system with Prestone flush. Then filled with anti freeze and water mixed. I still have a leak but cannot see anything leaking. The water pump came with new gaskets and sealant. It all was used. I cleaned the surface where water pump mounts to assure a good seal. It is still leaking. Water is not mixing with the oil. I even changed the radiator cap. It is still leaking. I cannot find where it is leaking from. I do not have a pressure tester to pressure the system up to see where it is leaking from.

Good morning.

You can rent a tester at a parts store. You need to do this to find the leak as there are so many possibilities of the location of the leak.
