The fluid is called coolant. It's a mixture of antifreeze and distilled water.
Either you have 1) a leak that is losing coolant, or 2) your engine is consuming it. Case 1) fix it asap, and pay a good mechanic to find the problem if you aren't able yourself. FDs run very hot under the hood, which is why it's strongly recommended to change every coolant hose every 5 or so years. This way they don't burst while driving and overheat the engine. Your engine can overheat and be damaged VERY quickly if you burst a big hose and lose all the coolant at once. Case 2) you have bad coolant seals in the engine. This is the rotary equivalent to a blown head gasket on a piston engine. Unfortunately you have to take apart the whole engine to fix these. If there is a good rotary shop in/near gainesville now would be a very wise time to invest in their time. Dave |
