I think the car would run loud and rough, you may have oil in the antifreeze or antifreeze in the oil? What year and model? I am not 100% sure but I think thats right. Hopefully somebody else posts too...

mysteriosusly missing antifreeze and opil are usually signs of head gaskets issues....also if u take the rad cap off(whyen cool) let the car wamr all the way up and if u have excessive fluid spitting out at u that can be an indicator of a bad head gasket
