Hello, my honda civic 2002 DX is lossing water and I don't know why. But it is not leaking from any place and the fan is working normally. Any one can help?
note: I fill it with water last weak since its temperature reaches the max. And today I check it again and I found a loss of water but the temperature is normal.
best regards
thank you

Hello,

Please note that if you have a bad radiator cap it will allow coolant to escape through the overflow tube.

This will happen if the radiator cap is unable to hold the correct pressure. When the coolant leak due to a radiator cap, it will drained through the overflow tube, typically while you are driving at operating temperature and might not leave any mark inside the engine bay.

Perform a pressure test on the cooling system. This will simulate the pressure of the cooling system at operating temperature. It can make finding leak easier.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
