Government is becoming more foolish on daily basis. Every of their approaches to issues call for war. It is so pathetic that the inevitable is fast approaching

As a city fan, I'm not bothered if we don't exceed this stage. It is better to be defeated by Lyon than humiliated by Bayern Munich. wink

I thought academic staff members were on the safer part but i was wrong. I just got the sack letter in my mail yesterday & it was like a dream..... But now I'm awake to the reality & will ride on the wings of the little investment I made until I find somewhere within or outside the shore of the country to pitch my tent. Life goes on
Romance › Re: 10 Reasons Most Ladies With Average Physical Beauty Are Better by elasticlala: 12:40pm On Jun 18, 2020
How do u classify beauty to have a part called average beauty? What parameters did you use ? Are you aware that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder ? What you are calling average beauty might be most beautiful when I consider them, same way as the ones you consider most beautiful might not be beautiful to another person. Therefore, saying an average beauty woman makes a better bla bla bla is grossly fallacious. (My opinion tho) undecided

Sorry about this brother..
Iv experienced quite a lot with radiator issues...

Here's what u need to do...
1. The fact that water is rushing from your radiator to the overflow tank means you have a problem with the radiator cap. The purpose of the cap is to regulate the fluctuating pressure within the radiator by controlling the flow of coolant between the radiator and the overflow tank. Change it.. preferably go with tokunbo..its just N500. I always keep a spear in my booth.
2. It's not normal for water to reduce significantly within a day... its should take about a week or two b4 you notice significant drop...anything other than this implies a leakage..(YOU6 MECHANIC WAS WRONG).. it's a good thing you did your due diligence and discovered it.. now the problem is half solved.. Just get a mechanic to change the hose or even the water pump (if it happens to be the culprit).

NB:I actually believe the prominent leakage you noticed was caused by the overheating experience you mentioned, which also was caused by your faulty radiator cap
3. After you've done both, and your still experiencing similar problems, get a stop-leak product (I normally recommend the ABRO Stop leak liquid NOT powder) and follow the guidelines on the container... I have used this on cars multiple times to stop leaks that mechanics diagnosed as HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS.

Let's know how it goes
I did exactly what you said and ever since, there hasn't been any reduction in d level of water in the radiator. Even the overflow tank that usually runs dry every morning still has its content to the gauge nark. I just can't thank you enough... God will bless u sir.

Than you so much sir. I will do just that and see how it goes

autologic:
If you initially have a source of leakage and u refuse to attend to the issue , there is high possibility of getting your Headgasket blown later on .it even possible to now have the two issues.
Go for cooling system Diagnostics check for precise confirmation
Wao! this seems serious than i thought. Thanks a lot sir.

Good day car gurus, please i need a serious help on this matter and it goes thus:

About three months ago, just before the lock down, I bough this tokumbo 2010 toyota corolla sport. Few days later, i discovered that i will always have to add water to the radiator every morning, as the water always goes down. I took it to a mech for checkup and the guy said it was normal, that even if i didn't see the water in the radiator, that the water was inside the engine.....but i didn't experience such with my former car (2006 corolla). One day while driving, the temperature went very high that the Ac began to blow hot & when i discovered it, i quickly had to park the car and turn it off. weeks later, i discovered that after few minutes of driving the car, the water from the radiator will just pump to the overflow thank and begin to pour out from the outlet there. I took it to two different mech for check up again and they both said i would have to replace the head gasket. Unfortunately i din't have up to the amount of money they asked me to pay for it...so i took the car home and started managing it like that, adding water every morning ... the temperature doesn't go above average. So, yesterday morning when i woke up to check the car before i set out, i discovered some drops of water from the water pump, dropping untop of the AC compressor, so i didn't drive the car.... but this morning when i went there to examine the hose from the water pump with my hand by pushing it a little, water just started gushing out from under the water pump, between the water pump gasket... Please, could this be the reason and not the head gasket, why the water in the radiator keeps reducing everydayhuh I have also attached a short video clip of the leak. Thank you in anticipation for your responses and advises.
