Am losing alot of water in my car, coming out of the place where you put water in lol (am not very knowledgable on cars btw), it keeps on being empty all the time.

Took it to a garage and it said it wasnt headgasket and was the fan, (my fan works on a switch), i use that but sometimes it keeps on losing water!!!

i'm not sure if i need a new cap for it cus it was pissing out of the top today???

Really fucked off with this car, having terrible luck with it, i think the bellend we brought it off knew it was fucked.

is your cap a pressure release cap? i had the same problem and thought there was something very rong then realized that the black part ontop of the cap had to be turned to the senond click. if anyone knows where i can get one from pleas let me know as the cap plays up abit thanks.

yeah it sounds like a head gasket fault, or cracked block/cylinder head as exhaust gas are being allowed to escape from the cyliners over pressuring the coolant system which blowns the water out of the coolant cap as the cap is over pressured, this could just be a faulty coolant cap, but if the fan aint working and engine has been over heated would suspect more!! sorry!!!
