Water Leak

[legonsuk]

Hi 

 

Hoping someone can help me, took car out for a 15 mile drive today and got back to find the water bottle empty! Had to fill it up twice in the last 2 days. No water in oil or on the floor where the car sits. 

Any ideas very welcome.

if head gaskets gone it will blow it out of the exhaust or expansion bottle

its not coming out the expansion bottle bone dry  i  took it out for a 15 mile driver on the bypass  and it didn't seem to overheat  got home no water in the  expansion bottle so as you say it must be coming out the exhaust i have just ordered a  head gasket test kit  so when it comes i will give it a go .

Check the Auxiliary Heater exhaust port for your coolant loss.
