Drove approximately 135 miles with air conditioner running. Reach destination and parked. Turned car off. Noticed smoke coming from under right side of hood and coolant running on ground. Checked under hood -all of the coolant had ran out the tank. Temperature gauge showing hot. Turned air conditioner off, restarted car and drove approximately 2 blocks, gauge midway between hot and cold.

When the car is overheating can you hear the cooling fans running? If so you may have a blown head gasket causing the issues, but to be sure here is a guide to follow:
