Crap, I was worried about the coolant, but the reservoir was soo low and I didn't have many options being 50 miles from home.

It was not overheating before I removed the cap. It is hard to see the fluid level without removing the cap. This was the first time I did it since getting hit.

I'll look for ways to flush the coolant and check the reservoir. I'll look into the water pump too, but that might be above my head.

Where is the best place to shop for a new cap and coolant? Unfortunately, It doesn't look like I can use my Amazon Prime account for this one.

So far, Suncoast has the best pricing for the cap and coolant. Ebay has a reservoir from DEUTSCHEPARTSUSA for $175, although I hope that doesn't need replaced. Could that Sheetz gas station coolant have caused engine or water pump problems after a 75 mile drive?
