Is it leaking due to overheating or leaks out when cold? Continuing to overheat an engine will lead to failure. Have the engine cylinders pressure tested to verify the head gaskets are still good.
All the coolant? You obviously have a big leak which should be obvious if you look.
TDolby at this point im not sure when i fill it it doesnt leak. If i dont drive my car and i check my coolant sometimes itll still be in there sometimes itll be bone dry. I think it is due to overheating tho because when i do drive not even 15mins its smoking a lil and i can hear it bubbling even tho my needle is nowhere close to the overheating mark. Ive replaced the thermostat housing brand new along with a brand new thermostat and replaced sensors for my fans. I just dont understand why it continues to overheat
