Holden Barina 2005: Needs frequent water checks?

Asked by Bryce Wickham

My partner's 2005 Holden Barina needs its water to checked/topped up or refilled every third or fourth day. It's not overheating or leaking. Any suggestions?

There's certainly a problem with it. If it's not overheating it must be leaking. Have the radiator checked for leaks, check the radiator hoses and clamps, and check any fittings on the engine that have coolant flowing through them.
