losing radiator fluid Options

[kaboom16]

i just rebuilt my 5sfe motor about two months ago and have had no problems at all and it runs great other than i recently noticed my anti freeze was low so i filled it back up and checked it about two days later and noticed it was low again and im not sure what might be going on. and i dont have any in my oil and the head was pressure checked and what not before rebuild so im sure its not that so any ideas or help would be greatly apreciated.

it may have been rebuilt but do a block check anyway, u might have a blown head gasket if there is no puddle under your car or under the carpet by the passenger side of the dash.

we had the block checked also before the rebuild and if a had a bad head gasket i wouldnt i also have oil leaking?

is there any fluid where your parking? could just have a crack in the radiator, i got one in mine but its tiny so i only have to fill it up every month or so.
turn it on and let it run and look under the car to see if any is dripping out and check the plastic guards at the bottom. could also be your radiator cap is faulty and not sealing properly

no there is no fluid and ok ill do that tommorrow and see what i can find

not unless the gasket blew by an oil passage, which is pretty hard to do, the oil passages are the outer most part of the gasket usually. most of the time its the coolant ports that blow since they are so close to the combustion chambers.
