when you say running you mean while in traffic or while driving like 20 km etc

does your car have a leak like a radiator hose leaking etc

you have a ga15de --- in what vehicle

is the step up unit working etc

I was now gonna ask about the step-up/idle-up unit...make sure it's operational and make sure there are no vacuum leaks

for the radiator, check the cap, hoses and the rad itself for leaks

so does it overheat when the a/c is on?

also, does the radiator fan come one even tho the a/c is on?

lol the solution might be much cheaper and less labour intensive than changing a head gasket inno

did u inspect your entire cooling system (hoses, water pump, thermostat housing, end caps and radiator) for leaks?

check on fan belt,if the cylinder head gasket blew there will be water in the engine oil,it will get the oil white,the radiator will have oil in and around the top of the cover,as hook is saying,,, inspect the entire system while engine is running with the ac on,good advise he is giving Wink

i having the same problem right now with water from disappearing from the radiator, but M-Tech said the water going to the reservoir bottle and being expelled, waiting to get a thermostat for the car to see if it gone bad
