Hi All,
My 58 Mercury with 430 engine loses vast amounts of water. I always top it up before I drive it but when I get back I can't even see the water level in the radiator it's so low. I know it spills out the overflow. Funny thing is that it never runs hot - the temp gauge only approaches the 'N' mark and stays there. The radiator cap doesn't pressurise - I'm keeping it that way because there is a very slow water leak somewhere on the engine. Need to fix that before I can attempt to let it pressurise.
Just wondering if you guys had any thoughts on what might cause several liters of water to disappear out the overflow after even only a short trip.
Sorry I know my car isn't a Tbird but other forums aren't as helpful as this one.
Thanks
Tim
