Issues with water levels

[kk13]

if every time you drive your car and when you come back and check it, the water level drops..what does this mean??

previously it was only occasionally the water levels will drop...but now it seems to be dropping every time and by a lot more as well...

any one know y??

-its an rx7 if its relevant.

Thanks guys...

then now i never add a few month , the water is the same too , only add a litter bit

 

[kk13]

Change your radiator cap already?

1)check water tank, spare tank, bubble tank, see any place have leak.
2)radiator cap should use the correct pressure and type as they mention.
3)check for any place that your water will pass by for any leak.(mine one have a bit leak in turbo last time... xD)

 

[kk13]

hmmmm...but i just changed the radiator cap not too long ago...but will still check it out...

babyken,

how did u realize it was leaking in the turbo the last time? and how did u fix it?

 

[babyken]

i got toyota coolant(RED) in tank, so every time i stop and park the car, it will have red water on the floor. and i can hear some sound like water drop on very very hot surface making "shihssss.... shihssss... " sounds. i check on tech, raise the car, notice that red color water coming from turbo. if it's the metal pipe, just need some welding work to fix the crack/leak.

 

[kk13]

oh okay...but mine now coolant or water appears on the floor...hmmm...nvm, i'll check it out....thanks babyken

if you're running stock turbine...it might be the water cooled pipe is leaky... it's behind the turbine.. replacing that metal hose requires taking out the freaking turbine.

hey guys,

wanna ask a non-related topic question.

whenever i open my radiator cap, there is always rust water on top on the cap and also at the surrounding of the radiator head.

no matter how hard i clean it, it always reappears after few days. really annoying.
is there anyway I can get rid of it.

btw babyken
I remember I saw one white FD at bukit tinggi klang , is that yours? at AS tint shop.

do you flush your water with distilled water? if you keep flushing it every week, the rust will dissapear. me last time same like you. the ex-fellow using tap water. it just like capuccino.... xD

White FD in bukit tinggi?.... i been to Jaya Jusco bukit tinggi before, but just to Eneos.... and night time at Station One cafe once.... and recently my FD just parking at my house.... i think it's another guy gua... btw, my bumper sold to a klang's FD owner, maybe he is it.
