Subject:Coolant - Have I screwd up my engine?
From:80 Westy Pokey

I was checking my oil the other day and noticed that the
coolant reserve was dry, so I filled it up with straight
undilluted coolant. Shortly after the coolant light would not
stop blinking despite the fact that the gauge read OK (note
this even seemed to happen on a fresh cold engine). I thought
maybe there was just a problem with the light. That was until
I pulled over and there was steam coming out of the driver
side air intake.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Chris
