my engine recently over heated and had smoke coming out from the bonnet, and when i looked inside i noticed that the tank you fill up with water for the radiator (excuse my lack of technical terms) was completely empty. I filled it up, but the minute i turn the engine on and just leave it running, within 2 minutes the water level rises and starts coming out the top (instead of draining into the over flow pipes) and then it starts smoking (and im worried the pressure of the water might make the lid to this tank explode. However, when i drive the car, or sit and rev the engine, the water just totally drains out of it. There is no leak, so no idea where the water is going or why. So im able to drive the car for short distances as long as i carry water to top it up again....but cant leave the engine running and sit still in it for longer than 2 mins. Does anyone know what the problem is???
