First check level of coolant. If low, fill. It may also be a thermostat going bad. Do you have any leaks from radiator or cooling system in general? If no visible leaks (i.e. drops of water underneath car) and you're still losing radiator fluid, check to see if the oil has emulsified. This is the worst case scenario.
How long have you had this radiator? If for a long time, there may be deposits that restrict flow.
Just a few thoughts. Good luck with finding your problem. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
