[QUOTE="c-square, post: 379643, member: 135"] There are many other ways the water can evaporate from your radiator, eg a crack on the radiator cap, hairline crack (which is difficult to see) on the radiator or its plastic housing, expansion tank, etc. It could also evaporate into the combustion chamber through a warped cylinder head gasket or cracked cooling system. Having to top up water once every 2 days is not a good sign, bro. For a start, send your car to a workshop for a compression test and hope the cracked/problem area(s) can be identified. [/QUOTE]
