Question coolant light

my coolant light has been coming on lately.
I have replaced the waterpump about 3 weeks ago.
I can't find a leak anywhere. There is coolant in the radiator but the reservoir is always empty.

Also how do I know if I have a blown head gasket?

u'd probibly notice if it was a blown head gasket,
i'd bleed the cooling system and it might just be that the sensor is not working correctly or dirty
If that all doesn't work disconnect the bugger

Ya mine is on too.. The radiator is full the over flow is cool I drove 300 miles and it never got over 180 then drove back 300 miles and still no problems and have driven two weeks the light goes on and off at time, but no leaks and never over 180....


I plan to flush it and replace the hoses for Sits and giggles it needs it too though... But still no problems..
