No coolant, temperature rising a fact!! Are you certain you are loosing anti freeze? Simple fact, if you are loosing coolant you will experience overheating. You will have blown head gaskets or a complete engine failure. You must be catching it before it gets this far. The cause could be from a leaky hose connection, faulty cracked coolant hose, leaking heater core, leaking head or water gaskets, leaking water pump, hole in radiator. I may be over looking other causes, but I would check for leaks before it is too late. I have a mustang 5.0 that looses anti freeze very slowly. I can tell when it is getting low, before the warning light comes on, by the cooling fan coming on more frequently than normal. The leak is so slight I can not find it. If you are not sure you are loosing anti freeze and the temperature is rising, you may have a faulty temp. control on your cooling fan not letting it come on soon enough or at all. You do not need the cooling fan while moving or operating in cool climates.

no Most of the time white smoke is caused by antifreeze burning in the cylinder. Leaking injector s can cause white to blueish smoke.And that's alot more common then antifreeze getting into your CTD. Also antifreeze will almost always lock you up , due to the higher compression of the CTD. Gas engines have a much lower compression . They will sound horriable but burn it. CTD will crack. Check leaking injector, or turbo oil.
