Usually an interal loss means it it crossing into the coolant jacket of the motor. This can be caused by a a crack in the block or bad head gasket, or sometimes a seal or gasket. A good indicator of internal loss is the anti-freeze will look awful (usually blackish or brownish green) not the normal green color it usually is. Good luck

The engine runs fine.Culd it be a sensor going bad.Idont think its a head gasket.I have had that problem On my Boat engine (diesel) before.
