Oh no :(

When i went to pick up the exhaust manifold on saturday i lost a lot of water from the engine...

Temperature gauge went quite high, but not all the way up

Got home and topped it up with water, quite a bit!

Look underneth and nothing was coming out, so i started to run the engine and nothing still..

Drove to work monday, and it happened again, all the water disappeared and nothing on the floor to show for it?!?

Any ideas? I just hope its not headgasket!

thanks in advance...

Not water on the floor and no leaks anywhere around the engine

Is there anyway to be sure? would there be water in the oil?

 

[joesouthgate]

what does the oil itself look like?

i always check, by filling the rad to the brim, and look for bubbles (usually steamy ones) on tickover

Found the leak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im so happy right now!!!!!!

lol

It was leaking from a pipe by the radiator, but was collecting the water in the plastic thingy, so nothing was going on the floor until i drove!

WoOp!
