HELP asap!
I checked my coolant about two wks ago and when my car was sitting it was perfectly full and everything was great. Now I checked my coolant after I drove it last weekend (it started smelling like something was burning and it started acting funny, low coolant light was on) now I check it today which is wednesday and the last time I drove it was on saturday. Now my coolant level in my radiator is not full when cold and it is dry as a BONE Should I burp the system by turning the car on, adding coolant and open the BURP hole which I close when coolant starts coming out????
Thanks,
Devin Mueller

Did you recently drain all the coolant? If you drained it from the block it could have left air pockets and when the thermostat opened up it emptied the radiator causing it to appear empty when you checked it.
