Possible causes could be a head gasket leaking, cracked/warped heads, cracked block. With the engine and radiator cool, check your coolant level in the radiator (don't trust the overflow bottle to be accurate). If you are low on coolant, or if you see what looks like oil floating on the top of the coolant, you could be looking at one of the above mentioned problems. Another indicator would be antifreeze in your oil. Pull the engine oil dipstick and see if it looks like grey mayonaise instead of oil. If you find any of the above, you may want to have a mechanic test the cooling system for leaks. They can pressurize the cooling system and the guage will tell them if there is a leak, then they can start looking for where the leak is. If you are burning anti-freeze, it has to be getting into the combustion chambers somewhere.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
