Coolant levels? 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Robin Roemisch on  Thu May 24 12:49 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Yesterday I had the car in the garage, with the hood up, replacing some hoses on the turbo. I noticed that my coolant reservoir (the clear tank on the passengers side) was empty. This can't be good, I thought, as I filled it back up to halfway between the "MAX" and the "MIN". This morning, as I was driving in to school, I stopped for gas, and noticed steam coming from under the hood. I opened it up, and it looked as if coolant was coming out from just under the intake manifold, right below the injectors. Is this a normal spot for coolant to come out??? I didn't think so. 5 hours later, as I parked it after coming back from lunch, there was no steam and it was not leaking anymore. And taking the car out tonight, I noticed that the heat wouldn't blow hot air for almost 30 minutes. Did I damage anything? Oh, and the reservoir is empty again... I would like to know if I should fill it again... the car is not overheating and running fine.

Thanks
