Reservoir tank is always empty

[travish_1]

Alright, about 15,000 miles ago I had a new engine and radiator put in. Ever since then the reservoir tank always empties. I've refilled it probably three times. I do not seeing any leaking. Any ideas? Should I flush my system?

Check your oil to see if it's going into the motor. I'd also change your radiator cap.

usually check my oil every two times I fill up, seems to be going down a little bit. Maybe I got a bad motor? I will try a new radiator cap.

Sounds like your engine is poo. I would get a raditor pressure tester and see if you find any pressure loss. If ya do then look for leaks, if no leaks are found then it has to be an internal leak.

Good luck!

It's also possible that your lower intake manifold bolts are loose, causing the coolant loss. If I remember correctly, that was an issue on the OHV 4.0.

I personaly would take it back to where I got the new motor and have them mess with it. WOuld hope it would still be under some sort of warantee.

About 2 years ago my resevoir was emptying every other day. It ended up being a head gasket leak. Take it back and tell them to fix it.

Yeah, I had a jasper engine put in with a 75,000 mile warranty. I will try taking it back to them and see what they have to say. Thanks.
