My Ford Futura 94 model is going through water every second day of
driving and it becomes a strong smell of burning water, there is no
water in the oil so it can’t be a cracked head there is no water
leaking from the car running or not. In time i have had this problem
before and they replaced the head the problem is back now so what else
could it be is there something underlying causing the head to
eventually crack and where is the water going :?: Please help I’m
sick of paying out money every three months for the same problem

If you had this problem before, then maybe you do have it again. You
could take it back to where you were and go back in time to where you
didn't have this problem. Then the water wouldn't be going :?:

Or it could be a different problem. You could have a leaky heater core
if you smell burned water. Maybe your windshield is also fogging up
from the glycol. Perhaps the carpet is wet from the leak also. White
smoke out the exhaust would suggest a leaking headgasket.

I don't blame you for being sick of paying out money every three
months. I got a headache just from reading about it.

Thanks for the feedback, had it to a backyard mechanic today and it is
another headgasket, found the leak coming from the head with water
everywhere causing the burning smell as the water hits the hot pipes,
thankyou so much for taking the time to reply to my help signal. This
will cost me another few hundred dollars, I am tempted just to date a
man so he can fix my car. lol :lol:

Dear Netty,
My advice is not to date any of the men who have been working on your
car thusfar. If the head is warped then a new gasket will not seal it
for long. The head would need to be machined flat or replaced if it is
cracked.

Hold on Nettie! Before you let him fix it, is it a v-8 engine? If so,
does it have a plastic intake manifold? I'll check back.
