    I was driving down 985 last Monday when all of a sudden my car seemed to dump all my anti-freeze and lost all power. The turbo timer is the only thing that kept my car on at the time and I was lucky enough to be able to pull over to the side of the road to get it towed to my shop.

    Here in lies more to the problem. My car seemed to absorb the coolant resevior at the time. But it still holds pressure in the radiator, the battery is low, it tries to turn over but it won't. Me and my guys here can't figure out whats up with it.

    We've guessed at the water pump, but then it wouldn't hold pressure. We've thought about headgasket, but the oil isn't milky. Other than that.. we have no idea..

    Is the radiator end tanks intact? Check for cracks....it's common.

    I didn't run over anything, I just happened to look in my rear view when it happened to see the car behind me get covered in my antifreeze. Also the radiator holds pressure so I don't think it can be a crack, but I have been wrong before. I'll check that out today and hopefully find something..

    Thanks

    What does that have to do with losing coolant?

    Oh the water pump itself broke? That's RARE.
