I have been loosing alot of water these last few weeks. Changed the oil a few weeks ago and did not see any water mixing. Before leaving for work tonight I filled the reserve bottle. When I arrived at work it was empty and the oil is brown. Mind you it was a 60 mile drive at 80 miles an hour. Did not check the oil prior to leaving. I have no steam coming from the exhaust. The engine sounds as good as the day I bought it brand new.

The water always seems to be rusty colored.

I have just over 80,000 Miles.

I had one event of over heating in February of this year when, but shut the engine down immediately. The vehicle was towed home. Replaced the thermostat, water pump, radiator and radiator cap.

Warped head or just a gasket. What do you think?
