My 1990 ninety-eight 3800 V6 is losing water slowly...very slowly I think.

I can't see any thing wet or leaking.

Any tests I can do to find it?
How about one of those radiator pump up units? How much pressure over cap pressure 15-16 lbs can one safely put on the system?

The weep hole in bottom of water pump. What is it there for and when should it pass fluid?

Would not ANY internal leakage of coolant show up in the oil?

thanks
