My civic b16a is using a bit of water, just wondering if anyone would have any ideas on what it would be.. It might not use any for 2 or 3 days, then use what is in the expansion tank, after filling that back up, it might use nearly all water after another journey a day later.

I used some radweld in it and that was ok for a few days, then started happening again, used another small bottle 2 days ago but it didn't make any difference to the problem?

So to sum it all up; may not use any water for a few days, then start using some again..

Could it be the water pump?

Doesnt use any oil or anything, not smokey if it helps

Thanks for any replies

Try putting coolant in and not water. Might last longer. Could be water pump gasket.
