Experienced overheating this past week. Cold air through vents (when set at full heat). Check Engine Light came on when wife was driving. I pulled a warning for a faulty coolant temp. sensor from both #2 and #6 sockets-which I thought was the main culprit. I reset the OBD and after a few days I noticed...No coolant in the tank!

I check fluids frequently and everything was good shortly before this happened. Took it to a mechanic as I thought I had a blown head gasket due to the underside of the oil filler cap having a milky white substance. They did a pressure test and coolant was coming from a couple of the frost plugs.

Anyone ever have to deal with this issue?
