hahaha.. that's quite the question.. are you just putting water in the rad?? I know everyone says you should put "water" in the rad.. but the word "water" usually refers to adding coolant and not 100% pure water to the rad its just people are so used to saying "water" that others might take the words very seriously.. specially when you're new to owning a car.

So you opened up the rad cap and it was low? Or are you looking at the overflow tank?
