hey all,
  I was driving home the other day, on the NJ Turnpike, when I noticed
the little red light for the coolant went on.  I pulled over and checked
the coolant level, it looked OK.  Well I let Stella cool down, and I
drove home without any other major catastrophes.  Now, earlier this week
I had a similar situation, and I did top off with some water, and the
problem was solved.  Today I checked for leaks, I even put an old white
sheet under her and let her run for at least 45 minutes in the
driveway.  Her fan went on twice, and I periodically checked for leaks.
I didn't see anything.  I also checked the oil, I already had the head
gasket replaced a little over a year ago I learned about the possibility
of finding water in the oil, there was no water in the oil this time.
The water pump is not quite a year old yet, and most of the hoses are
new.  What else could it be?  I may take her to the shop down the street
to have them check the compression, is that a good idea?  Well any
insight would be most appreciated, I'm new at this game.

Peace, Love, and Granloa
