Last night drove from the airport in Canberra to Braddon (About 6 kms)
Car overheated, got to red line, and I pulled over and stopped.
There was no coolant in the reservoir (I know there was coolant in it to start with as I have recently purchased the car and checked it).
NRMA guy came and topped up with water, there was a leak somewhere towards the engine, down near the water pump.
The leak only happened while under pressure, i.e. with the radiator cap off, it ran fine.
Also, when he topped it up, there was some bubbling, said maybe the head gasket, fingers crossed he's wrong.
Ideas? anyone had the same sort of problem?
getting it fixed tomorrow
