i drove in last night and a few minutes later I found coolant on the ground, more to the end of the rear end; it looked like what Bessie would do when running hot...boil over and dump the water. I thought it strange becasue the idiot light didn't go off saying he's really hot(neithre did Bessie's). It was extrememly HOT as it was outside, it topped at 104'!! ITwas hot enough that I couldn't touch the access door to check the bottle for water. It was empty when I did check it. ..the water's all in the system I gather. Im gonna watch it today. I hope it's not some big repair....especialy when i JUST GOT IT
