--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm going out of my mind. Every 6 or 7 days my car goes through 3/4 of a gallon of anti freeze. I have changed my heads, gaskets, themostat and radiator cap. I have pressure tested the Fluidyne Radiator and replaced my Robert Shaw cap. I have spent a lot of money and time with no results. No fluid is missing from the overflow tank, but the radiator is low. I have jack the front of the car up and let run for a 1/2 hour to get the air pockets out. It runs at N on the gauge for 6 or 7 days and starts to run hot. I can feel hot air being pulled from the fan when radiator is full. I can tell when is low because cold air is pulled from the fan. I then open it up hot and put in a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze. The fan now draws hot air and the gauge goes back to N or O. It syas that for the usaul period. Another thing is when I bought the Fluidyne it leak fluid around the Stant cap. It seemed to solved when I put on the Robert Shaw cap. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated greatly because I am tired of putting in fluid every week.
Thanks,

Ed
