Re: Problems with Loss of Coolant tank - Honda Civic 92.
If you are losing coolant it seems reasonable that it could only be going two places, either its leaking out on the ground or you are burning the coolant in the engine.
It sounds like a possible failed head gasket.
I would check the coolant system for leaks and if none are found I would suspect a head gasket

Thanks for your answer dear, but I changed the radiator and even the problem persists but ... now consumes less coolant tank than before, now I'll try changing radiator cap ( 1.1) , and see how it goes , by Moreover there are no leaks in the hoses

Start by replacing the radiator cap.
Next pressure test the cooling system for leaks.
If you still get no joy, use a block tester kit that detects exhaust gases in the cooling system (blown head gasket).
