Hi,

About two weeks ago my car overheated as idle with A/C running.
So, I added the antifreeze/water (which was pretty low).
Been running good up until yesterday started to overheat again, and the radiator was really low on water again, where's the water going?
No noticeable leaks, etc,
Any suggestions?
Thankyou

Hi,

If there are no leaks, it could be getting burned in the engine's combustion chamber or leaking into the engine crankcase oil.

First, have you noticed any excessive white smoke from the exhaust? Have you checked the engine oil to confirm it is not overfull or has a creamy substance in it?

Take a look through this link. It explains the most common symptoms of a bad head gasket. See if you are able to find any of the things mentioned.

Let me know the results or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
