Cry it's lost all the coolant in the header tank.!?  the car gave me a oil level warning on the display this morning so i topped it up before i set off from work tonight an spilled a good bit so i thought it was that burning off. too dark now i will have to have a look tommorow. it dont sound good though Cry

it could be any of the engine hoses. I had a top radiator hose blow a 6" split on my Senator. I'd not realised it was that big till later on when I turned up with my temp hose bandage.  Huh Grin Grin Grin
