I thought the problem with the loosing of antifreeze was the head gasket-so head been changed -checked everywhere for a leak and canot find it anywhere!
Had jimbob-
pressure tested
chemically tested
water pump changed
radiator changed
head gasket changed
timing belt changed
costing costing costing.....
I really do not know what else to do or where to look ?:blush:
Have you checked if your carpets are damp? Could be a leaking heater matrix. Also make sure no hoses are perished or leaking, especialy around the clamp as i've had a clamp cut through before.
yrp-checked carepts all dry-it seems to be leaking from the overflow bottle that has 1 pipe coming in from radiator and one pipe out that has no end? checked it again today and i only filled it last night to max mark and its already on min ?cannot make head nor tail ?
If water is being lost through the overflow pipe on the header tank, that would suggest the water system is being pressurised somehow??
Did you change the head or the head gasket - just wondering if the head is warped or cracked or summit?
Try the cardboard under it while its running, may take a while to get it hot enough to lose anything.
You could cable tie a small bottle (500ml coke bottle?) near the expansion tank and put the pipe in it but don't seal it so it can overflow if it fills up. Run like it for a day or 2 to see if thats where the waters coming from. Then you need to find the reason its pressurising.
The only other thing could be is that its evaporating inside the engine.
Reading you post about filling it up, you're not filling the expansion tank are you? You are filling via the radiator cap arent you? Just how your post reads
