Having a serious Problem.

[BigDawg]

Ok here is the problem. When I put radiator fluid in my radiator(it is full when I begin), and when I turn the car on the radiator fluid level will drop, and then when I turn the car off the fluid will not go back to how it was when I started. And it seems that nothing is cycling through the radiator.

do you know if the water used in the radiator was distilled? or was it tap water? sometimes if tap water was used, minerals build up in the radiator.

 

sounds like the problem is bigger than that tho, just thought i might throw in a posibility.

My vote goes for the Thermostat sticking. smile.gif

Stop if this gets obvious and you've already done it, which you proly have

did you drain the block? how much water did you put in it?

Sounds like you filled the radiator, startedthe car,it cycled the water through and filled the block with it. Now, just re-fill the radiator, run the car again, check it, repeat as neccisary.

Your car hasno cats,right? If you were eating it, it should be condensing in the exhaust and dripping out the tail pipe, have you checked your oil?
