Topping up of radiator water

[Academia]

Hi there, is it common to top up the radator water every 3 days or so. Morning, I can see a pool of water ynderneath. My car is a Merc 200E.

I think your radiator is leaking. Topping every 3 days is a little too much. I think once a few months may be normal.

 

Better send to mechanic and have a look. You dun want your engine to overheat.

Hi Protege,

 

This is Francis,

 

You are right, radiator topping up every 3 days is a sign of leaks definitely.

Definitely uncommon. I'm driving a COE car, and radiator water only need to be topped up a little bit every 2 months or so.
