Re: [ST] 01' Sprint ST antifreeze leak issue, PT 2.

Scott,

I'd say you have a problem that needs attention. My ST did not leak coolant and
the level in the reservoir stays half way in between the marks. You need to find
out where the leak is coming from. You obviously have a loose connection or some
damage somewhere. Keep checking till you find it or take it back to the dealer.
