Have been needing to fill the coolant reservoir quite a fair bit, have check for leaks there are noen, and there is no water evident in the oil.
Have had it check for a blown head gasket and it is not the case. Its a ef 2 fairmont. Any ideas?

A pressure test at a radiator specialist would be the first port of call. Could be your water pump, a hose or radiator leakage.

if your not seeing green coolant on your driveway inn the morning, then it's not a stuffed heater pipe. your head gasket is shot. $700 bucks to fix fix mate. can run it for 6 months if you want,should still kepp going if a slow leak..........
