No Fluid in Radiator

I have a 2003 Hyundai Elantra GT. This morning I went outside and noticed that there was a wet spot underneath it. Because of previous repairs due to overheating a couple of weeks ago, I am now paranoid to drive it and check daily for more problems. At that time I was told it was due to the thermostat and it was all repaired under warranty. I checked the radiator and there is no fluid in it. I know enough to know that it is not normal for that to happen. Can you please advise?

Try filling it up with the correct type of coolant and observe for leaking. Maybe they didn't fill the Rad. When they replaced the Stat.

And again maybe its not the thermostat that's causing the overheating-could be a blown headgasket causing the radiator to run dry because its being burn in the combustion chamber.
