Hey fellas! I have a 99 Disco SI with 38K miles. Lately I noticed that it runs below the "normal" driving temp. I normally don't warm it up except on Winter days which get pretty cold here in Jersey. In city driving it runs in normal temp (needle is in the mid point of the gauge) but once I hit the highway, it starts to drop until it eventually hit below what seems like "normal" operating temp. When I get back to city, it climbs back to the mid point and just stays there. I checked the coolant/antifreeze and it's a little low. I added a 70/30 mixture of Prestone and Water but haven't seen any improvements. Any thoughts is gratefully appreciated!

P.S. - I did notice what seemed like coolant/anti-freeze leaking out of my headlamp washers before this whole thing started happening. Thanks again!

Ron is correct. The part is about $20. I had same problem recently.
