Check whether you have blowby. When running, let the car be stationary and engine idle for sometime say 5min or more, than upon moving see whether there's a lot of white smoke behind from the exhaust. This will show that you have a blow by, the solution can either be just the valve/ring or even piston. Thus, you might need just the top or full overhaul. Depends on your luck.. happen to me, luckily only top overhaul. When done, no more issue of loss oil[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000]For the water, it definetly your radiator..if you haven't service it get it pressure check. 318 got a lot of hoses that needs to be change.[/COLOR] hope this help [/QUOTE]
