Losing Coolant

[BlownAway]

I have searched and looked threw alot of threads on this subject and have not found one to cover this problem. I know it could be a headgasket or a hose. I have a pump to put on the radiator to check and see if it is a hose. If that is not the problem is their a way to check and see if the headgasket is blown without taking off the head, or is their another reason y it would be doing this and causing the car to overheat? I am not trying to but I could not find anything on loosing coolant.

You could be losing it through the coolant overflow bottle. If you have a hole in the bottle it will just drain out and not get sucked back into the system like it is supposed to.

definetly check the coolant overflow bottle.. that was my problem, I was worried about a head gasket, but the coolant overflow bottle was the problem.

One forsure way to check if it's a head gasket is to check the exaust smoke, if it's like a thick white, then it's coolant, also, if you do your own oil changes, check your oil next time you do one, if it's milky, that means that the coolant has leaked in through a crack in the head gasket, or block, and is leaking out.

Never thought about the overflow. I have checked the oil and it isnt milky, but I will also check the exhaust and see if it is white. Thanks
