I couldn't see any leak when I filled it up and start the car. Had to fill it up everyday now. And I can also smell like burning coolant or something like that.
Help??

if you can smell it, it's a small leak somewhere that burns off quickly

inspect the entire cooling system and hoses/ thermostat housing carefully for signs of it leaking (green/white scaly deposits)

Get under car and laugh at the white mess and dripping coolant from the left side rear piston area at the headgasket.

My head gasket just went.

No coolant leaks into the oil or outside the engine, but my exhaust system is now water cooled.

Back when I worked at a mechanics for a bit, bosses friends brother brought in his small truck, and he had oil inside his radiator. That was the most fucked up thing I had ever seen.

keep the water up to it and it'll be fine indefinitely, you dont want to know how long my ej20 and ej25's lasted with water pissing out onto the heads and plumes of white smoke :p

New engine on its way tomorrow.

Just changed my thermostat and radiator cap and now my car is overheating. Almost went up to red level. And plus my both fans r running at full speed non stop. I checked my hoses. Top hose is hot but bottom one isn't. Friends told me that my head gasket might be fuk coz I see bubble when I fill water up but it stop when the water is full. Help??

I checked it today and I could see some white scaly stuff inside.

That sounds more like your new thermostat is jammed shut.

Of course you see air coming back out of the system after you fill it up.
You'd get a stream of them while the engine is running now if there was a leak.
