what kind of car do you have Draki and what intercooler do you have?

The XLR-V I drive to Bourbon St is supercharged with 4 intercoolers built into the intake manifold, made by GM.

I had a problem similar to this and for several months I had to add water about every other week. Turned out my radiator had a hairline crack that let steam out but left no traces.
