I've got a 1990 with the 4.0L and the AW4 with the original closed cooling system. Early last year I replaced radiator because it developed a pin hole and installed a new Mopar thermostat.

It's been running great until now. I need to top off the coolant bottle every day. No coolant drips on ground. The oil dip stick only has clean oil on it. I do smell coolant from the engine area when I open hood.

Any ideas on what could be going on?

One more thing...I pressure tested the system yesterday and the pressure drops slowly, but no obvious leaks under pressure.

 

It had a 16 radiator cap on new radiator last year, but it would weep, so I replaced it shortly after (May 2024) with a 20 and the weeping stopped. It is not weeping from cap now.
