Coolant under hood?
Yesterday I was towing a racecar, 6000lbs maybe, and all of the sudden my temp skyrocketed and the check gauges light came on. It went right back down, so I thought nothing of it, and continued on to the racetrack. I popped the hood when we got there, and the coolant was a little low, but not too bad. I drove it home and it behaved like normal. This morning, I went out, and it took about 2 quarts to fill the overflow back up. I drove it about 3 miles (up 2 big hills) came back, and there was coolant all over the driver's side of the engine bay and it took another 2 quarts to fill it back up.
All of the fluid was up high, no dripping around the head gasket area at all (that was my first thought was a blown head gasket). Gotta wait until morning to call the dealer. Anyone have any idea where it might be coming from?
