Default **OVERHEATING CRX**

I Have a 89 CRX Si it has a new radiator & thermostat it spits antifreeze/water into the overflow but will not suck it back up about every 3 days you have to pour it back into the radiator. I know it is not the radiator cap cause I put the Si cap on my Hf and it works fine. has this happened to anyone else?

Is your electric fan kicking on?

Check your oil for water, and oil in your water.. A Compression test would also show a blown head gasket.

head gasket wont always leak oil and coolant together. it probably busted where the water jacket is sealed up.
