Why is my overflow tank empty when engine is cold ? UPDATE
Is it normal ?
Rad is full, no over heating.
Absolutely no problems whatsoever.
Been driving car like this for over a year.

Cool im gonna buy some Honda Anti-Freeze that is pre-mixed...but i dont have a cold line just a min and a max...should i fill it till its in between?
Thanks guys
Thanks guys
I beleive the cold line is in the radiator? It's the lip in the radiator at the top
It's almost always better to buy straight antifreeze. Mixed often costs more, and you're getting less. It's basically like buying watered down coke. Distilled water is really cheap and some say you can even just use good tap water if your area doesn't have a lot of minerals for 50/50 mix

I would go to the min line and watch it for a couple days when it cold and hot.
They say you can leave tap water out in a bucket over night and it's ok to use use it as the mix if you have hard water, IDK, that's what I heard years ago.
I've alway's just used my water out of the tap. I have well water and it's not hard.
Either way, I don't think it really makes a difference. There's enough lub in good anti-freeze. Do you plan on keeping the car forever and never replacing the water pump...

you will be able to get by with just distilled water. i flushed mine with 50/50, ran out of that and just filled the rest with distilled water(1/2 gallon)
Okay guys I filled my reservoir between the max and min line.
Put about 350ml in it...now after 40 miles it dropped to min level.
WTF is wrong ?
Car is not overheating nor is it leaking.
Thanks

I don't know if you have changed you coolant lately but the drain plug on the radiator is plastic so it can be easily damaged or cracked over time. You said it's not leaking so It's probably not that but you might want to look at it just to be sure I always like to double check things. But if it's not leaking and It's still disappearing matt is probably right it must be being burnt off.
Could it be happening because my heater core and my ac compressor weren't 100% full.
Car has 44K can it really be the headgasket at such a low mileage ?
Thanks
