About three weeks ago, my idiot light for the engine overheating came on; dashboard temperature gauge confirmed it was overheating. I pulled over, let it cool off and added water in order to get it home(another 3 city miles). Took it to a auto repair shop close to my house here in Austin. They said I had a radiator leak; I had them replace the radiator. About ten days later, I noticed the dashboard temperature gauge reading higher than normal on my way home from work. Found the liquid level very low. Took it back to repair shop and they performed a pressure test; test came back negative and they said they couldn't find the leak. They topped off and it only took another few days before I noticed the liquid levels dropping again. This time, I took it to a Dodge dealership in South Austin. They had it for eight hours and told me the same thing - couldn't find the leak!?! They topped off the fluid level and here it is another few days later and the level is down again. I have also noticed my heater hasn't worked at all since the radiator was changed out; just figured an air bubble was trapped in the coil. Looking for possible answers or options of where I should take it for the needed repair.
