My mg zs is losing coolant, seem to be filling it up once a week, had the head gasket checked, no fault there. Coolant tank also has some gunge in, no leaks visable on the ground.

Hi there,

The first thing you will have to do is get the cooling system pressure tested, then a tests for exhaust gasses in the cooling system, start here.

Hi there,
you don't want to be adding stop leaks to cooling systems as they can cause more harm than good, see how you get on with the test and post back if you have more questions, thats what we are here for.
