Re: where did my antifreeze go? lol
probably air got into the system, just keep refilling it and see if it stops going low
i used over a bottle of antifreeze before mine stopped sucking it up
also, im not sure where your location is, but i would NOT be using water to top it off especially if you are in ohio, go and buy some 50/50 mix and use that

Re: where did my antifreeze go? lol
I was losing mine for a while and couldn't seemt o find out where it was going. had it pressure tested etc and still couldn't figure out where it was going. Now I'm going to be pulling the heads off, because I have a feeling it's burning through the exhaust, even though it's not smokingCar expresses who you are.

If you haven't change your coolant before you had this problem,then you definitely have a LEAK,it could be going in the overflow then unto the ground,I could be going in the cylinder/s but may not be that amount to cause the car to white smoke,it could also be going inside the car on the carpet from the Heater.

my friend had a mysterious coolant leak on his car and it turns out the cap could only hold like 5 lbs

Re: where did my antifreeze go? lol
i had the same problem. bad plenum gasket, when i took it apart the area around where the coolant goes into the TB was all rusty and corroded. i ended up ruining a good set of heads because i forgot to check it...Team NoVa
