I have an 88 5.0 and i keep filling it up with water and by the next week its pretty much empty. Im pretty sure its not a leak cause theres never water under the car when its parked. What could be causing my car to use up so much water??? and what can i do???

maybe your head gasket is leaking and your burning it. you could also be leaking it but only when it's under presure like when your driving it...PB

had the same problem until i put in the new motor. never diagnosed it (since i was switching out engines), but i was told it was most likely a leaky head gasket, and it was just getting burned off.
