Your radiator is broken. FILL IT FILL IT FILL IT before you go to the garage and on the journey if you see the temperature gauge get too high STOP AND FILL IT FILL IT FILL IT or you will ruin your engine. That is all.

hi there, it might be a simple thing as no water refill the radiator and dont put on radiator cap run engine to get air out of the cooling systemonce that is done put cap on andmrun to operating temp. check to see if any leaks from radiator or underneath car, if ok just keep an eye on water for a couple of days, if water level still goes down then you have a problem in your engine could be gasket or crack in block especially if you have been running the car with no water in it also check your oil level as this could be an indication of a gasket fault if the oil level is too high then water is geting into oil sump or if oil feels rough same problem try this out it helps when you go to a garage for repair then they cant bamboozal you with technical detail jock

There is a leak in the radiator itself or (more likely) in one of the hoses or clamps connecting to the radiator. Any decent garage can fix this easily. In the meantime keep the radiator filled up and watch the temperature gauge closely -- it will overheat very quickly until you get the leak fixed, as it is not pressurized.

probably a crack in a fin and water being forced out due to pressure. It may only be a small leak so try using something called "barseal". If its small, this will fix it.

You may well have a fracture in one of the fins of the radiator? You will have to get it repaired or replaced very soon...NOW!

Something is obviously wrong, correct! Get it checked out or your car will be toast.

there could be a squirrel or some such creature living under the bonnet gnawing away at the bojangles, get it checked before it is too late.

The radiator or hose has a hole in it. Or a loose hose connection.
