why is my coolent overflow tank always empty?
Where is it all going? I fill it up like once every 2 weeks and when i go to check my oil, it's empty again. There are no cracks in the tank itself that I can tell (I filled it and held it for awhile but nothing was dripping out) Anyone know where it's going or why it's all gone?

could be a bad head gasket and so the coolant is going out the exhaust... I kinda have the same problem but mine is usually once every 2 weeks and i think its b/c its soo ungodly hot where im at.

Re: (turbosi03)
I just ran out and did a compression test, 210-200-200-200. Could it still be my HG? Just a very small leak that the compression test look fine? Oh anyone think the compression #'s are a tad high? It's a H22 with 9:1 compression pistons. Those where almost teh same as my compression #'s when I was on a stock block with 10:1 compression....

Re: (Wo-Nelly)
well dont automatically assume its a head gasket, have you checked for leaks under the car signaling as to where it might be leaking? could be a bad seal on the water pump, leaking intake manifold gasket, coolant hose, or a headgasket in worse case senario, but with that kinda compression reading, i doubt it.
