Hello I have a 1995 isuzu bighorn 3.1 td from time to time loose water
I've fitted a temp sensor it never goes over 80 temp gauge on dash when warm running after 45 minutes never goes past middle will loose about a pint
Have towed a 1600kg caravan to Machynlleth from Birkenhead
Even using a laser thermometer engine not hoter than 76
Any thoughts

Check the water pump and both thermostat housing gaskets.

Water pump its at the front of the engine the thermostat housing no leeks
Top side of engine can't see any leeks looking to be lower what water pipes lower
End of the engine it's been to wet to crawl under but I'm hoping dye will show
Any help would be great
