I have a cooling issue was wondering if anyone could help diagnose it
My car overheats alot so I replaced the old leaky radiator with a mishimoto radiator with hoses too thinking it would stop overheating but now when I first start up and drive it overheats and after awhile it goes down. So I thought it was the thermostat not opening but a couple days ago I overheated, pulled over and poured more coolant in and now it hasnt overheated so now I think the thermostat is fine but the coolant is dissappearing wayy too fast and I have to pour coolant weekly for the motor to stay cool. Theres no coolant in the oil nor is there oil in the coolant or is there white smoke emittinh from the exhaust while I drive so idk what it is.. could it be the thermostat still? My knowledge is limited
