URGENT 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

[jcdw00]

I own a 2001 for explorer sport trac with 170,000 miles on it. I have been putting water in the radiator and the reservoir. I drive around about 18 miles or so. I am having to fill it up again almost daily the radiator is taking water from the reservoir but not returning water to it. But the radiator is loosing water as well. I believe its either one of two problems. Either: the Lower Thermostat Housing need to be replaced or the a gasket is blown i started the truck this morning and ran it for 20 minutes and had water coming out the exhaust not sure if it was from the Cold weather we have been having or a head gasket that was blown

If it's not leaking anywhere than it's probably burning it, blown head gasket . Hope you get it figured out

Does it look like there is any water in the oil?

There is no water in the oil. I believe it could be the lower thermostat housing
