Default LEAKING. please HELP


that is how my engine bay look like.
since i cant buy an OEM intake system, i just put a 92 JDM accord intake in LOL

well, my coolant reservoir drain out VERY VERY fast. for example, yesterday, i filled it up to MAX. after 3 runs (engine on for 1 hour) 10 minute of racing, the coolant reservoir was EMPTY.
in normal driving condition, its take about 4 days for the coolant reservoir to be emptied.

there is no visible LEAK. i check the floor and under neat the engine. my car is 87k, automatic d16y8 vtec 2000 civic ex. all stock. (mods are visible in the picture above)

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: help me out guys!

when i first find out the reservoir was empty, i did check the radiator by revoming the cap (when engine cold of course). Level was high.
Reservoir is fine, it got no holes or leaking. i took it out i checked.

PS: Mxs i got the falkens rt 615 on my steelies for autox yesterday. man it WORTH every penny. plus it was raining too! FWD owns.

i looked at the engine closely.
no oil floating in the radiator. oil is clean, no milk . sparkplugs are cool.
i also found a small leaking spot on the radiator.
i ll have it weld.
