Is there white smoke comming out of your exhaust? Check under the oil cap and see if theres a milky white mixture. This would consist of both oil and coolant mixing. You can also check the oil dipstick for this. Is there any cracks or leaks comming from the radiator itself? Next time you have your car parked, put a carboard box underneath the raditaor, this will be alot easier for you to see a possible leak.
I would also check the upper and lower radiator hoses and where they meet the radiator. It's also possible you have a blown head gasket, or intake manifold gasket, but the intake manifold gasket is more unlikely. Check these things and let us know what you find.

Pull a spark plug and see what color the tips are and if you have a flash light you can look in at the piston and see is they look clean ( as in brand new kinda clean )

i looked at the engine closely.
no oil floating in the radiator. oil is clean, no milk . sparkplugs are cool.
i also found a small leaking spot on the radiator.
i ll have it weld.
btw, 409.55 bucks for the new one, Denso OEM
