What would make my radiator get boling hot and then losses everything from the rasavor? I have changed and checked so many things. The radiator has no leaks and the cap is good.

Hi Janice Muhme,

If the reservoir is drying out, then there must be a leak in the cooling system.

If the radiator is getting too hot and coolant is being pushed out to the reservoir, either you have a bad head gasket, fans not working or the thermostat is stuck.
