Do the pressure test like Mr. Tennisshoe said, also don't forget to pay close attention to the heater core.

I've replaced my Coolant Reservoir 3 times. Leaking again, they did a pressure test and it came from the reservoir tank. Something is causing it to keep overheating and cracking the reservoir tank. Never ends. 2002 Lincoln LS is the worst year they made them. I have a lot of money invested in this vehicle.

I had the same problem on my 2003 LS V8 and it was a crack in the coolant reservoir. Replaced the reservoir and haven't had any more of that problem.

2005 LS V8 has the same coolant reservoir problem.. I'm my 5th or 6th. Fortunately I bought the 1st one at O'Reilly which has a lifetime guarantee even though it's a Dorman part. I've checked for head gaskets, etc. and it always comes back to a bad reservoir. It's a pisser. I love the car when it's running but the coolant issue is a pain in the butt.
