Can you tell from the hashmark if the coolant level is low ? I had a slow leak until it all came out and the dash started blinking one morning. The mechanics found a hairline crack in the tank.
The coolant had been flushed a year eralier and it's possible that some air was in the line and caused the rupture. That's just a guess based on what one forum member said is a common occurence a year after a flush. Either way that's a common issue on these cars and the repair is pricey depending labor. $300 for the part and about the same or more to replace the coolant.
