On my way for a meeting this afternoon, my car overheated.  Saw the red warning light and quickly pulled over by the road shoulder and switch off the engine.  Saw the water was boiling in the expansion tank.  I noticed the water level was about 3/4 of the expansion tank and thought it couldn't be insufficient water in the cooling system.  Waited for a little while and decided to release the pressure via the bleed screw.  Once that was done and engine is somewhat cooled (about 30mins) I noticed that the there is no more water in the expansion tank (a while ago it was like 3/4 full ???).  Anyway, called AAM and got the car towed to M1 (segambut).  The mechanic did a pressure test, filled up the radiator with almost 4 litres of water, check this and that for possible leakages from hoses, etc.  Couldn't find any wrong  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />   Fingers cross that it is not the cylinder gasket burned or something as "painful" as that, which I experienced about a year back  :cry:  :cry:  :cry: Since M1 could not detact the problem, may I ask the experts here what could possibly be the problem with my car  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
