No coolant in tank!

[alprus]

So I parked my car the other day and came back to see that there was no coolant in the coolant tank - and some wet spot under the left rear of the car. The tank has had a small leak in the past, but where could it be leaking from to have all of the coolant leak out? I already picked up a new tank in anticipation of fixing, but I hose that may have come loose around the tank. Just want to know what else to look for.

Thanks for the help.

My advice is pour in some more coolant and see where it goes. If the car is a 996 there is a hose that runs from the tank to the bottom driver's side of the motor that is somewhat prone to bursting as it's so close to the headers.

Sounds like another cracked coolant tank to me...

On the upside of things, if the coolant is all over the ground, at least you know it's not leaking into your oil!
