Default Weird engine problems

I posted one of the things that was happening to my engine a while back about the oil ,i guess no body knows. well the other issue that i have is with the coolant or antifreeze , it just sucks it up like theres no tomorrow. i filled the bottle this morning drove around for a couple of hours and when i re-cheked the coolant was almost completly gone. does anyone have an idea of why this might be happening?

Is it overheating? What mods have you done? Maybe you need an aluminum radiator, it keeps the oil cooler than a stock radiator. Maybe change the spark plugs also. What oil do you use...10w30 or 5w30? 5w30 would get a higher temp becuase its thinner oil than 10w30. Try 10w30 if youre not already.

I believe not. i dont even know what ur talking about man.a friend of mine told me that it could be the A/C condensor thats sucking up all the water. because it usually happens when the A/C is on. but about the oil porblem i have no idea what could it be. u guys think that changing the gasket's will get rid of the problem?
