OK guys I have searched and I have seen the common answers to the burning coolant threads but here are my specific details. I barely drive my car (03 with 17k miles) and before today I havent driven it in about 1 year (deployed most of the time). Well I took her out for a quick drive with no issues. All fluids checked prior to going out and everything filled. Well I got back home and all of a sudden she decided to start pouring white smoke out the back. Shut her down and my IC resovoir was completely empty. Of course smelled like coolant to me so came on here and did a search. Pulled the intercooler manifold off to take a look at the o-rings. Pic attached but they look pretty good to me. Now I know that a bad head gasket could be a culpurt but I had a compression and leak down test done last year and it came back clean. I've only put on 300 or so miles since then, I know I could lose a head gasket in that time but I dont drive it like I stole it so I dont think thats the problem. Besides a cracked cylinder or other major fault are there any other "smaller" issues (such as the o-rings) that I can check before I go for the $1k search and rescue mission? I am going to pull the plugs tomorrow to try and get more info but as of now any other ideas? Thanks.
