[QUOTE="jiusan, post: 1063596123, member: 60506"] Helo , I have recently noticed that the water level of my car reservoir tank is dropping whenever I drive . So I top it up daily , usually will be less than a half of the tank . I tried figuring out the problem and noticed that the radiator cap rubber has harden and shape had been out of place . Its a 0.9kg pressure big sized cap . So it was replaced . The water level then never dropped in the reservoir tank after the change . I thought it was done , when then the water level of the radiator itself started dropping . It never happened before I changed the cap / the cap is brand new . Today with a bit of free time , I opened the cap and filled the water correctly in the radiator and reservoir then without closing the cap started up the engine . Immediately the water drops in the radiator / once the engine starts . Can see it by the mouth of the radiator itself . Then top it up / just a little . There is not a sign of leaking everywhere and revving the engine never affect the water level in the radiator and reserve tank itself too . Then warmed up , radiator fan started to run . Water level of radiator started getting low like when I started the engine . Top it up again and rev the engine no sign of leaking as well and engine working perfectly . Sorry for the long description . The water level of the rad. will lower itself when starting the engine and radiator fan operating . Hoses all fine and not a sign of water leak can be seen . And reservoir tank water level never dropped at all even though radiator water level dropping . Anybody knows what's wrong ? Hmm thanks in advance first for reading !!! [/QUOTE]
