coolant disappearing
I topped off the coolant in my car in the reserve tank, and it was empty when i checked maybe a week or two later. I haven't noticed any smoke from my exhaust, and the oil level seems fine. I also put cardboard under my car and i don't see any leaks on it.. so i have no idea where it is going? I am going to change out my oil completely in a few days, so maybe its in there? Or is there anywhere else it could be?

well today i was driving and what do you know my car starts to over heat. So i pull over at the gas station, pop the hood, and omg theres no coolant. So i buy some a gallon thing of water and fill up the raditor and the reserve tank, let it idle for a few minutes, and check the reserve and under the car. And wouldn't you know that my raditor was in fact leaking. So i just bought a new one and im gunna go install it now

better a leaky hose/radiator than heater core(which is buried inside of the dash) or headgasket(500 dollar job)

yeah tell me about it. I took out the raditor and theres a few BIG holes in it, i think it just finally blew today.. litterally. But, its all good now and my baby isn't overheating anymore.
