Hi, I have searched through the forums and stickys and have checked for leaks. History is it has 177,000 miles, daily driver, I bought at 120,000, previous maint is unknown. Noticed that for a few months it would only produce heat through the heater at rpms over about 2000. Last week my wife was driving it and the temp gauge got close to red and the message popped up "low coolant, shut off engine" or similar, which she did. I checked the crossover tube that goes to the expansion resivor and there was no flow. I ran wire through the exit port in case it was plugged and added about a quart of coolant. It was fine for about 300 miles and then yesterday the needle was rising above where it normally was, I let it cool down, checked it out and no flow through the cross over......added about another qt, and it flowed through the crossover again and runs fine/no overheating,etc. I did the block test yest for 5-10 mins and the solution never changed from blue. The only other thing I noticed is it seems like there is more water/condensation dripping from the tailpipes.
Thanks in advance!

I recall reading that you cant do the test right after adding coolant so I drove it for about 10 miles to circulate the coolant through the system before testing it.
