Re: Help please Im in a pickle disapering coolant

try this:
let the car sit overnight. in the morning, open the hood and take off the radiator cap (not overflow). if the radiator is not full, fill it up. then, turn the car on with the cap still off. let it run till the level drops (whenever the thermostat opens/ when the cars at running temperature). fill it up to the top again. when it stops dropping, put the cap back on and fill the overflow tank if needed.
hope it helps.

Possible head gasket. You should check the oil condition and make sure its not all milky looking. Or see if your car is exhausting very white smoke.
