Coolant was replaced at @ 115,000 miles. Coolant was in globes in over flow tank. Approximately 15,000 miles after replacement, coolant light came on (first time ever since I have owned car). Coolant was @ 1 gallon low. Coolant has also become globby again. Took into replace with different coolant (not dex-cool). Upon inspection garage found the engine gasket has been leaking coolant. They claim it was caused by the dex-cool coolant, they did not do the flush because they did not want to chance making the leak worse.
