I don't know where your water is going, it may be a small leak in the radiator that dries as it leaks.
You can check your gears by marking the pinion flange and counting the pinion rotations as you spin the tire 360*. You should be able to estimate if its 3 and 3/4-ish turns you have 3.73's if its 3 and 1/2-ish you have 3.55's, etc.

Hey bud, make sure you use the outer diameter of the tire, not the wheel size. Usually a mustang is about a 26" tire. But according to what you gave us based on about a 26"er, you have 3.73's. If you have a stock T5.
