If it drinks that much water its eather a major leak or head gasket, Id say the latter tho!

Does not leak at all, header tank is bubbles up when cap off. Does not drink water when the cap is on but as soon as you take the cap off the water just goes!

either head gasket is funked or the system is not presurising. ie a loose jubalee clip or tiny split in a hose somewhere. is the thermostat opening?
