Why is my 2003 Nissan Altima is losing water daily?

Asked by Stephen Sep 29, 2017 at 06:52 PM about the 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5 S

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So daily I find myself having to add water
to my radiator otherwise it'll over heat on
me. I do get occaisonal white smoke out
the exhaust and have noticed a milky
substance on my oil cap, but not the
radiator cap. My check engine light is on
saying misfire codes and as well my heat
does not work. I have roughly about 140K
on the car.

Thats not what was our problem was, and same symptoms just like I'm arguing with a man because i ran a service department for Chevy! Nissan's with in the like 7 year time spand that they all have similar problems, and i researched the hell out of it start looking at fuel injectors if there is gas in the spark plugs, if you start digging into it it's a headache, but we have been having luck when im listened to lol! Diagnostics!
