I have a 60 series 2H diesel fitted with a after market water cooled Turbo. I am losing approx 1/16 to 1/8 inch of water from the overflow bottle every time the vehicle is used regardless of mileage. This is checked after the vehicle has cooled down.The head has been down up -nothing leaking in system or hoses - radiator done up -system pressure checked etc- no water in oil. Is it possible that once the engine is shut down and there is no water circulating through the Turbo, that the water is boiling in the hose's closest to the turbo and evaporating slightly.If you drop water onto a hot exhaust it will evaporate. I have thought of a cracked turbo housing but if this was the case there would be a greater loss of water over a long distance. All answers gratefuuly accepted.
