I'm just really not a fan of working on my supposedly daily driver. Especially because I just replaced all of the spark plugs and knock sensors in the past year. I REALLY hope this isn't HG related though as that would suck. The car did get up pretty hot when the rad cracked though.

Okay, I'm at a loss. replaced the coil, cured the misfire. Replaced the radiator, and there are no visible coolant leaks anywhere.
However I'm losing coolant, to the point where within 20-30 miles, I've lost almost half of a gallon, and the car starts to overheat. I don't see white smoke out of the exhaust. No coolant in the oil, No oil in the coolant, A little bit (okay, more than a little bit, but not a lot) of oil burnt on start up after the car has been driven hard, but no coolant smell. So where in the hell is my coolant going? With the proper amount of water the car holds temp perfectly, but as soon as it hits that "half gallon low" mark, the needle starts climbing.
Any ideas at all?
