I will check the radiator, maybe every 2 days and will find that is almot completely empty.
After adding water the car is fine but then the water will eveporate from the radiator.
The temperature gauge did go to extremely hot once, but with the radiator full the gauge stay at the middle line.
Could the engine be severly damaged with this kind of issue.
