were is my radiator water going?

[armandovivoni]

im in trouble.

I fill up the radiator with water and I drive like 5 miles and the car starts heating up. I chek the radiator and there is no water. so I took it to a friend and he has a pump that connects to the radiator cap. he cheked for system leaks and found none.

Im confused here. there is no leak. water pump was replaced 2 weeks before. there is no water in the oil. and no oil in the water.

I noted that the water reserve can is always full.

You're assuming you're overheating because you're loosing water, perhaps you're loosing water through the overflow bottle because you're overheating due to things like thermostate or a none working fan.

I thought about that, but fans are working fine. and car has no termostat and it never gave me any problem.

I was losing water not quite so fast but relativeley fast two different ways. first it seemed sealed fine but when i would drive hard one of the water hoses on the turbo coolant feed and return line was leaking down and burning off on the turbo.

the second was i was losing water was due to my old crappy radiator cap wich allowed the water to boil and then run out of the overflow bottel.

you could also check oil. just because i seen a n/a dump coolant into the oil throught a blown headgasket

forgive me if i covered something that was already said. its earley
