    my car (1993 mazda 626) has suddenly developed a ton of cooling problems. i've already had the big hoses replaced (to the tune of 2000 petot thanks to rapide... grrrr...) and the aux fan as well since it died.

    however, it is STILL losing coolant (about 1/3rd liter every day). i know there is a problem in my valve cover gasket because the #2 spark plug has some oil on it. could a gasket leak cause water to get into the engine? honestly i haven't seen anong kulay nung exhaust gas (dapat puti kung may tubig, right?) kasi ang dilim dilim ng tint.

    there is no water in the crankcase oil though...

    failing radiator cap could be one of the culprit

    coolant coming out from water pump breather or kapag wala kang nakita externally na leak malamang cylinder head gasket.

    medyo mahirap hanapin kung patak-patak lang, look for tell-tale signs on the garage floor kung saan nakatapat yung tulo. Or check the engine thoroughly kung may makita kang dried-up coolant material - usually around that area may leak.

    already changed the cap...
    rapide's inspection couldn't find any leaks. actually they just changed the hoses because they were really old and fluffy... but still not leaking.

    Check mo kung saan may tumutulo. Either from radiator, hoses, or water pump. But don't lose your cool bro.
