coolant tank going empty, no signs of a leak, help plz...

[Chuckt]

i just changed my radiator yesterday because i had a radiator leak that i oculd easily see. After warming my car up , i let it sit and i noticed that after i turned my car off, the coolant tank/reservior slowly became more empty. if i fill the coolant tank while my engine is off or cold, it stays full, but after running it long enough to heat up, it sucks all the coolant out of the tank. there are no leaks on the ground of any kind. Where is the coolant going?

If its not leaking, and is gone when warm, then all the coolant must be going into the radiator. How full is it when cold? If not at the full line, add more. There is an overflow tube, so you dont have to worry about adding too much. Id still keep an eye on it though.

if i fill it when its cold, its wont leak at all. after running it its still in the tank and i dont have any white smoke or anytihng so i know its not burning in the engine or anything. Once i turn my car off tho, it keeps sucking the coolant out, and there is no dripping on the ground.

anyone know whats wrong

it's simply burping the system, just keep adding until it stops taking a drink

 

[Chuckt]

are you sure i just KEEP adding more, , it seems like it would be filled already but OK!

 

[Mike1992]

IM sure

If your car isn't overheating and there is no smoke, and the exhaust doesn't smell sweet, just keep adding coolant/distilled water. You'll be amazed how much coolant it'll take to fill the radiator, block, hoses, and that bottle. It will get to the point where it's had enough to drink and it will spit the excess out the overflow hose.
