There has to be a leak. Keep filling it and sooner or later there has to be a pool of water somewhere to give a clue what is wrong.

If the leak isn't obvious it could be the heater matrix leaking into the car. If it has a rear heater it could be a failed pipe leaking underneath right at the back or again leaking somewhere inside.

It could be leaking into the engine, filling either the oil pan or the exhaust. Try checking for an increased oil level. Start the engine to check if it is misfiring and water sprays from the exhaust.

Good luck!

SOURCE: radiator

fill your radiator up, let the vehicle warm up and then shut the engine off. Look for the leak it could be a number of things check hoses, radiator, or the heator core inside the vehicle a strong flashlite and small adjustable mirror helps. Other items to check are waterpump, engine block freeze plugs, also check your oil if it appears milky you could have a blown head gasket.

SOURCE: I am losing coolant, not from the radiator and not

you could have a blown head gasket and coolant could be leaking into your combustion chamber.
rent a radiator pressure tester and see if the cooling system will stay at constant pressure. If the pressure drops you have a leak, and it could be your gaskets. pretty costly to repair.
make sure you have not blown the seals on the engines water pump. when they go out, the burst disc on the pump open and gush coolant everywhere.

I have a 2006 holden rodeo i fill the radiator and its empty within a few minutes but the platic resevoir is still full and I haven't even started the motor ,however,I cannot see where water leaking

the best way is to pump up the system however if it could be leaking to the transmission or to the inside of the vehicle though the heating system, block off the heating system and see if you still lose coolant

I have a 2011 Chevrolet impala and my coolant in the reservoir is evaporating within a months time of being filled. What could be the problem? Water pump?

Start with a "professional" coolant system flush. Sounds like there's a blockage somewhere. If you're putting coolant in the resevoir and not directly in the radiator, and it's disapearing, check the radiator. If radiator is full it's a blockage, if it's low/empty there's a leak.

Do you put antifreeze in engine coolant yellow cap or radiator do not open hot cap of 2002 chrylser town & country van?

You can put it either one or both. If you can see coolant in the bottle with the "engine coolant" cap ( resevoir) then there is no need to open the other. Fill the resevoir to the full mark. If that bottle is empty then you can open the radiator cap ( do not open hot). Do it when the engine is cold because the antifreeze in the rad can be hotter than boiling water and is under pressure. When the engine is cold, turn the cap until it stops, then push down and turn a little more and it will come off. There is a safety tab on it to keep hot coolant out of your face. Fill the radiator slowly until the coolant is about 1/2 to 1" below the neck and reinstall the cap. Make sure you get it on properly, both safety tabs are caught and fully tightened or it may blow off. Then you can top up the resevoir too. Hope this helps.

How much anti freeze do i put in my punto if i empty out the radiator

You will fill the radiator with a cold engine. You will then start the car with the radiator cap off, as the engine warms, the thermostat will open and allow coolant to circulate, you can then finish filling and replace the cap. Then fill the overflow resevoir to the proper level for warm engine. Allow the engine to continue running and keep an eye on the resevoir level. It will likely go down some and you can continue putting the fluid into the resevoir until it bleeds all air out of the cooling system. Good luck! I hope you find this to be very helpful!

Radiator is empty

Always fill you radiator & resevoir with a 50/50 mix of coolant / water. Your vehicle should have dexcool which is a red/orange colored coolant. You can buy a universal equivalent which is premixed and is yellow (not green). It is safe to add universal coolant but not green antifreeze. Premixed (it will say on jug) would be your safe bet. Fill the radiator, add to overflow tank to full cold line, run vehicle until fully warmed up. Let cool back down & then recheck.
Don't forget to check for leaks....it is not normal to have your coolant get that low. You likely are leaking coolant.

If this helps please rate me!
You can do it.

It might be a leak in the resevoir itself. There is a hose to allow the radiator to "****" new fluid into the radiator - check it first. It should be long enough to "freshen" the connection by cutting off a little bit and using the american style clamp.
