I just had a radiator installed due to a small crack, and was advise since the radiator is being replaced to go ahead and replace the water pump and thermostat. They installed everything and then pressure tested and supposedly it checked out good. When I got the car back a couple days after, it was leaking radiator fluid. I jacked the car up and checked the radiator, hoses, water pump, reservoir and thermostat and couldn't find any leaks, but their still was a slow leak coming right below the water pump but not sure where the leak was coming from. A couple days after the car stopped leaking and noticed that each time I put water in the radiator it would just disappear and can't figure out where the water is going because it's not leaking. I was told that it could be a bad head gasket, has anyone experienced this and could possibly give me some advise on where the water from the radiator could be disappearing to. Each time I drive have to refill the radiator, help.

Check your engine oil, if it looks like creamy like some sort of drink from Starbucks, then you have a bad headgasket.
