So my ETC after running the car 80 mph for twenty five miles give me a temperature of 214. I pulled over and the reserve antifreeze tank was almost empty. After I get the engine cool down and the tank was full but antifreeze hot. Something is wrong with the coolant system?

Good morning,

You have a leak and need to pressure test the system.

You also may need a thermostat to cool down the engine as that controls the temperature of the engine.
