You have to keep refilling coolant? Any leaks under car. Check the oil dipstick for oil level and saw coolant mixed with oil. Show look brown algae stuff. If so headgasket is gone? Or behind head is the water outlet pipe with 2 orings to water pump and thermostat housing may be cooked and deteriorated?
