Default Loosing Water...

Well I'm not sure where I'm loosing water at. The oil is not murky which is good, and its not dripping antifreeze anywhere. I did a compression test and it was fine. I replaced my water pump a few months ago. Any ideas on where to look next?

Default Try peplacing the cap.

How old is the rad cap its self? If the system holds pressure ok. The cap may be weak.

Sometimes a small leak on a hot engine will evaporate the water so it never reaches the garage floor. And it only leaks under pressure, as when the engine is hot. Autozone has a loaner radiator pressure tester. It has always worked for me to find leaks.
