where did my water go?
 
I have to fill my cooling system every morning. it only takes a little bit of coolant each morning to fill but i have no idea where it is going. there are no visible leaks as far as i can see. any ideas ?

you may just have air in the system and it is slowly being filled...Do a search for burping the coolant and you will find out what to do to fill it for good!

pressure test the cooling system if you have a leak externally it will show up..if there are no external leaks (check heater core too) then you are lookin at losing it internally(coolant seal)..any signs of white smoke?

Are you correctly adding the coolant to the filler neck and not the overflow tank? If so, have you also checked the level in the overflow tank?

A bad pressure cap on the AST or even a tiny air leak in the hose from the AST to the overflow tank will result in coolant rising in the overflow tank and dropping at the filler neck. Eventually the overflow tank will leak coolant onto the ground by the RF wheel.

how do your coolant hoses look?? do they look like they are colapsed??

i have kind of a similar problem....i keep burping mine and it just keeps going so im guessing somehow air is getting in...the AST is suppose to connect to the over flow tank? my ast has a hose from the filler neck, a hose to the radiator, and just a hose not connected to anything it just hangs down and iv had coolant pour out of it when my engine got hot...the overflow tank also has a hose just hanging down...is the AST hose supose to be connected to the overflow?

yes, hose from top of ast goes to overflow tank. its the hose on the top neck of the ast.
