[QUOTE="Ray, post: 126099, member: 2397"] Hi, I had a similar problem not too long ago, keep topping up the radiator every other day. Send for compression test; found a small leak at the radiator housing area. Took care of that, but the problem still persist. Had another compression test done and this time found the water pump leaking. Change the pump and was ok after that. Sometimes with hairline fractures, you can't see the leak visually and most times, it's either the hoses, radiator or water pump. Worst case scenario would be leaking into the engine compartment. Check the dipstick, if its like teh-o, then you're in deep sh*t (kena overhaul). Apparently that's a common problem with the Carnival. [/QUOTE]
