    you either have an air bubble in the engine that is trying to work itself out, or you have a blown headgasket.

    try bleeding the coolant system, fill it, and see what happens.
    You're right - I have no idea what I'm talking about...

    You have a leak somewhere. You need to locate it and have it repaired. I would think a blown headgasket consuming that much coolant would be toast toast already. When the car is parked overnight check for puddles the next day. Your sounds like a fast leak and i just repaired multi leaks that was leaking much slower. I put my finger on all of the rubber coolant lines and checked for fluid wetness on my finger. Do it multi times to make sure. There not easy to spot either b/c they leak so slow. I had multi leaks due to reusing hoses (on a rebuild, but same motor different setup) that should have been replaced. As to why they leaked prob b/c they couldn't seat properly since they weren't new and i only use OEM clamps vs. crush style screw clamps (Pepboys, which look ugly). I only use OEM...... GL
