Well........

 

i took my car out for a blast today i was hammering it a little bit but nothing special

and when i pulled up to a mates place i realised that there was steam cumming from the exhaust and I'm fair sure its steam its not like a kettel but there is steam and i was a little bit worried. i think that it has sumthing to do with my radiator because thats on the way out and its loosing a whole lot of water but i don't know were the water is going there isnt a leak (that i can see).

When i saw i steam i thought o shit the radiator has no water and she has overheated but looked at the temp gauge and it wasnt even half way then i cheaked the radiator and it had lost water since i filled it up this morning but it haddent lost much.

 

What u guys think..............

Lukey :P

One thing to look out for, on some engines the temp gauge won't warn you of water loss, as the air that replaces the water volume fools the sensor. Temp gauges will work properly for overheating caused by blocked pipes or stuffed radiator, but not usually loss of coolant.

Milky oil wont always diagnose a blown headgasket as the blow out can happen between the water passage and cyinder, thus not affecting the oil.

 

Compression test time.
