Antifreeze
several possibilities but first do a check. Run a transparent tube
from the overflow tube into a glass jug full of water and watch for
bubbles. Bubbles indicate you have leakage between the engine oil and
coolant. First check the PH of the coolant now. If its alright then
the chances are that either you or the previous owner ran the engine
two hot and you have one or more cylinder head sealing rings that are
bad. These seal the cylinder liners from the crankcase. If this is
the problem you need an inframe rebuilt.
