XJ likes to drink from the bottle?
91 xj laredo..
i fill the bottle up with 50/50 antifreeze.. drive 2 weeks.. check.. bottles' empty.
no leaks on floor, but the water pump seal looks like it needs replacing.
So not to sound too dumb.. you think its the water pump going bad or the seal around it leaking all of it out and the radiator when cooling down "drinks" out of the bottle?
bottle=radiator overflow bottle

but i was wondering about the electric fan next to big one on the radiator...
does it start spinning only when it starts to over heat or does it come on all the time?
i turned the ac on but it didnt turn... just curious..

Your electric fan should only come on when it hits a specific temp. It should also come on when you turn the AC on. If it is not coming on when you turn the AC on then something is wrong with it. My 91 it comes on every time the AC is on and only when it hits a specific temp range.
