Losing water

[Mister2]

Hey guys,

Got an issue of losing water. Had the car on a pressure tester for a full dad and not a leak. But after a long drive I can guarante I will need to top it up the next morning.

One thing I've noticed that when I stop after a long drive is it is pushing air into the overflow. Now my completely un educated guess is that it should be emptying into the over flow should it? It should draw back from it?

Does that sound like I'm on the right track?

Thanks in advance!

*Edit*

its a 2003 STR 3.0LT

Apologies for the spelling mistakes/bad grammar, I've written this on my phone haha

Its back at the mechanic today, he is gonna try and test the head.

If anyone has any other ideas that would be great, I'm hoping it's not the head

maybe the radiator cap is letting the water pressure from radiator to overflow tank and out the exit. has a new cap been fitted ?

Yeah new cap was put on about a week ago

Well got the news I didn't want to get, the head gasket is done.

I genuinely can't be bothered getting this fixed, what do you reckon I could sell at navara D22 STR with 192***ks, Forefront industrys front mount and billet turbo with head issues for?
