Since you don't see leaks, odds are that your car burns it.

Check the headgasket leak situation with the kit Scotty mentioned in his videos. If it is leaking, I think it is time to get another car.

Check the basics first, check for leaks and do a headgasket test. Is it puffing white smoke from the tailpipe? That's sign that it's burning coolant.

Yeah like when its running off cold start the white smoke smell sweet so I'm certain its a head gasket issue but thanks man 👍
