When I was working on my toy this weekend , I just did check the coolant and notice that I am missing alot of it . We did redone my headgasket and I there is no leak so I dont have clue where it went.

moisture out the tailpipe = blown head gasket

moisture on the ground = look for the leak

also check for "milky" oil.

also check for a bad radiator cap....... if the resivoir is full past the regular line or indicator sometimes it could just spew extra as it expands. leaky hose can also do it..... check and make sure your hose clamps are on tight. top, lower, and bypass...

Could also have a bad heater core leaking in the box
Moisture out the tailpipe is not always a indication if you have water coming out that just means your cat is working
