Okay here's the thing. My radiator is loosing coolant every two or three days and then my car starts to overheat. I've checked and have spotted no leaks. My car leaves no puddles. But my car still looses coolant. So far the best guess is that im loosing coolant through a damaged head gasket and is coming out the exhaust while the car is running. Has anyone had a simialar Trouble? It is Really making me mad :burn: If anyone could help I would be most appreciative. :bow:

THank you,

coolant loss + overheating = head gasket ! :(
test the compression in the cylinders !

rev the car in neutral a little in your driveway and check for leaks, some leaks won't appear until the motor is running (especially water pump gasket leaks) so do that first and also replace your radiator cap, it could be venting off the steam into the overflow canister and then out into the air.
