I have just replaced my radiator and still continue to have a lot of water leakage and have to refill the tank after every drive. My engine also wants to over heat can you tell me what the problem might be?

I need you to check something. On the underside of the water pump, there is a weep hole. When the bearing or the seal goes bad in the pump, coolant will leak from there. Is is a small hole (aprox 1/4" in diameter). Check it to see if there is evidence of a leak from there.

Let me know what you find.
