Low coolant light = Low coolant but no leaks?????

Where did it go? I checked inside the cap and could not even seen any coolant. Did I blow a head gasket?

I as driving it WOT up a hill and when it shifted into seconds it revved like it was in neautral. I dont know if that has anything to do with anything though.

What cap did you look in? The radiator or the resevoir?

Checked the radiator cap and couldnt see any kind of fluid anywhere. Didn think to chekc the reservoir. I jsut did the cam about 2 months ago and filled it up to the top. I only drive it on weekends.

You should see white smoke in the exhaust if you are losing coolant through a blown head gasket.

Check the resivoir. If its full, your radiator cap is probably not supplying enough pressure. Get a new cap from the store for < $5 .

Hopefully its not a head gasket...
