Heating UP

speedytang · 08-28-2002, 11:09 PM

Something new happen when driving to work tonight. I work 3rd shift and my drive is 45 min. My car stayed under 130 degrees unitl I went 65 on a really curvey off ramp, then from splashing back and forth the radiator jumped to 250 degrees and did not come back down so my guess is this is when I just lost most of the water out of my radiator. I will check in the dark if I can find a flash light but if it is as usual it will be about empty. The thing that really is crazy I don't find water on the ground none in my oil or any place else not even around the battery from the overflow. I would think even if I had a blown head gasket I would get water out of the tail pipe or in the oil. This car has done this off and on for about 2 years. I can run mid 11's all day long then driving home from the track it starts this crap. Maybe a cracked head or block but just can not find any fluid on the motor from up top or when under the car. It must be blowing the fluid out when driving 65+ and dries up around the car to hide the leak.
