i have a 1996 buick regal v6 3100 with 118350 miles on it. it was overheating so i replaced the thermostat, and water pump. the electric fans were working fine. however after i replaced the water pump, and put new antifreeze in the antifreeze kept disappearing, but none on the ground. so i used a radiator tester pump, and it wouldn't hold pressure. then i checked the oil, and it has risen. so then i did a compression check on the six cylinders. the back three were 1. 170 3. 165 5. 170, and the front three were 2. 160 4. 140 6. 140. the cylinders didn't seem to have any antifreeze in them. so i would please like some input on exactly what you think could be the cause of this. i am by no means a mechanic, and have my own idea's as to what it could be, but need more opinions. any help in this would be appreciated. thanks so much. :D
