As I was driving home and then pulled into the garage, I noticed my temp guage was reading high. I opened my hood, and I have antifreeze/coolant all over the front of my engine. The radiator reservoir was empty..but still leaking fluid out of the bottom of the car. I had zero indications driving home that something was amiss. Heat exchanger and reservoir are fine, so I know there are no problems with that.
I really didn't get a chance to get too deep into it today due to higher priorities..but I looked/felt all that I could, and all hoses seem to be intact. I'll try to do a "antifreeze leakdown" test tomorrow to hopefully track down the problem.
For some reason I actually bought that extended warranty, so I may be taking advantage of it.
FWIW, car has 24k miles with no cooling mods.
Just thought I would share.
