The fact that you keep adding fluid says it is either not full, boiling off, or leaking somewhere. First make sure it has no air pockets (I like the bank). It wouldn't hurt to check the oil and make sure no water is getting into the oil. Watch the exhaust to make sure no steam is coming out. You can try running it with the cap off to see if air bubbles is getting into the water from a compression leak, but I am getting ahead of myself. First step make sure there is no air pocket in the engine. |
I have no gurgling.
Oil is clean - nothing that looks like water, although I think I still have some fuel from my previous fuel injection system problem but that's nothing a tune won't fix.
I don't think there are leaks (small bubbles) but there definitely was a big one and the tank helped alot.
I'm not sure of the water temp gauge. It looks like the connection is a tap tube that picks off some water. I've thought about replacing that tube but getting under the dash to make the connection to a gauge requires a midget that can stand on his head.
