but recently it started loosing all the oil and its not leaking and the water in the radiator keeps depleting
im thinking its the head gasket because its not leaking any fluid or any oil

You can have a shop run these tests as well.

 

dope ill try those right now and see whats up

 

I am having a simular problem with my R motor. The water tube on the back of the block can leak without seeing any on the ground.

 

alright..ill chaeck that also thanks
does your oil also dissapear?

 

I'm betting it doesn't. The problems you're having are NOT similar.

 

alright..cause itll be good for like a day or two..then all of a sudden itll start to overheat and we check the water and its gone..but the oil is still good just a lil low..

 

If you're not leaking coolant, you're burning it.

 

Yea actually the oil does dissapear. But only if i am running it hard. I am wondering if the neck on the back allows air to enter the coolant system and pressurizes things. Not tryin to be a know it all. Just a honda lovin redneck from the woods in texas.

 

Even if it were leaking it would not draw air in to pressurize. There is no vacuum happening in the coolant system. Doesn't work like that.

 

Hmmm. Well when we build high rises down here in texas i have seen chiller lines for condensors get leaks and suck in air. It all depends on the location of the leak and fluid levels. This is how i am basing my thought process.
