Apparently, loose na yung gasket nung luma and kailangan daw maka reach to a certain pressure sa loob ng radiator para hindi mag overheat.

    Masters pa correct na lang po if I'm wrong.
    yes many people forget to check the simplest and first part they see in a cooling system... the radiator cap. a bad seal will let water flow out to the overflow tank and eventually keep on losing water till the engine over heats.

    but sa case ni wally.

    pwedeng cap, clogged radiator, bad water pump, a leak somewhere in the cooling system.

    yung unti unting umaagas yung tubig kasi may pressure yung water pump to circulate the water.

    yung nangangamoy sunog na langis kasi nag iinit na yung block so naluluto na yung oil.

    palitan mo muna rad cap Wally

    with a cold engine check your oil yung milky ang kulay may tubig yan meaning may sira na gasket. makikita mo din sa radiator yan, pag bukas mo ng cap tingnan mo kung may parang nag rainbow sa surface ng tubig sa bibig ng radiator. kung di mo makita, leave the cap off, have someone crank the engine pag bumulwak ang tubig, gasket na talga.

    best have it checked by your trusted mechanic.
