So a couple months ago i just got my water pump chnaged, thermostate and a good flush with some new coolant.. running fine up untill several weeks ago ive been having to top up with water constantly, i just dont know where im loosing water from. Last night i was drving and i suddently saw steam coming from the engine with a strange rattling noise, i figured i was about to seize since i had no water + no oil (not good at all!)
Today i gave the radiator a good flush, topped up oil + coolant went for a drive around the block and it seems to be running smooth as ever with the ratling noise now gone. But i still cant figure out where im loosing water from, there are no visible leaks, no great signs of a blown headgasket yet when i chuck in some water in the coolant resivour it gushes out from underneath.. Is that right???
Its probably just a matter of time now when ill start overheating again and having to top up again!!
