i notice one day theres lost of coolant from my radiator. every week would have to top it up. only figured this out when my car overheated. thought it was thermostat or fan but wasnt, it was no water in radiator. no water leak from any hosese ive checked. so what do ppl think blown head gasket or bad water pump? thanks

If there's no water in your radiator it means it's all leaked out, or your motor has burnt through it all.

Get your car checked properly ASAP.

you are either leaking coolant from the system, or it is being absorbed into your engine via an internal issue such as a head gasket break. Is your oil brown and sludgy?

Get a cooling system pressure test done, if you cant see any leaks while there is pressure in the system then take out the spark plugs and crank the engine. if any water comes out from the spark plug holes while cranking then its your head gasket.

Check for signs of water in the oil, not the other way around.
