Guys i have another problem arises...
i found tht the coolant in my radiator reservoir kept drying out, i need to refill it like every month... wht could have happened? im worried :(

the water temp shown in the gauge seemed alrite all the time...needle stop at/before half most of the time.

could there be a leak somewhere? and it leaks into the engine and mixes with the engine oil?

dos the oil cap have a milky look to it ?
when you take the dip stick out and check the oil dos it look like it has water in it?
if not it would more than likely be a leek in the reserve tank or piping going to the radiator.
or you could even have a small holl in the raidiator :roll:

Could also be being blown out the exhaust.

Agreed,

the coolant system may have not been bled properly last time the coolant was changed and the pressurised air is then pushing coolant out the the pipe in the overflow bottle. Also your radiator cap might be rooted as well.
