Hello

my coolant reservoir is getting empty while I am filling it up at the same time

I checked the oil it’s ok so no head gasket, radiator is ok, pipes look ok as well, as far I can check underneath the car, no leaks either 

my question is what can be the reason and where that coolant is ??

the car is MG F 1.8 1996

tanks a lot

If it is " getting empty while I am filling it up at the same time", I would think that your reservoir is cracked/broken, and it is leaking out the bottom - which does happen, they are plastic. The good news is that coolant reservoirs are usually pretty easy to replace - and you could probably find one at a recycler/breaker.


Looks fine from outside but I will remove it today to check seal

I had coolant just disappearing. I changed my radiator cap and now the level stays the same.

Mufflers are metal, when they get cold air condenses inside and they get wet. When you run the engine it gets warm and the moisture comes out.  Moisture is a byproduct of combustion. 

A car burning coolant will produce white smoke and have a sweet smell to the exhaust. If it's getting so much coolant in it that it's coming out the pipes it's likely it would not run at all. 


I took her for a little spin and Car drives pretty much normal I checked the mufflers no smoke or liquid spits

The coolant is going somewhere.  It's either leaking out somewhere or it's being burnt in the combustion chamber.  These are the only two choices.
