LCR using water,,,

[X MA7T]

Recently its needed toping up around every 1000 miles, Is this normal or somthing that needs fixing? If so, head gasket or seals in turbo?
cheers guys.

Not sure if there's a test for the turbo seals, but check the oil cap for tell-tale signs of water in the oil

One other option might be the radiator - my Toledo was drinking coolant at a similar rate and it turned out the radiator was corroded to buggery. It was only leaking with high temp & pressure and probably would have lasted another year.... but the water pump impellor fell off and the sudden build up in pressure blew a chunk out of it :-(

As above, check your coolant system first. Try parking on a dry piece of road (not easy at this time of the year) and see if you can see any drips.
