Hey guys, Ive read threads on here for a while and now its time I had to post something, unfortunately not good.
I have a 98 XJ8 VDP.. well today I was driving, stopped at a light and all of a sudden smoke started coming out from underneath my hood and my low coolant light came on. I was almost home so I made it back here, popped the hood with a little smoke (smelled like burnt coolant maybe?) coming out, no general spot really, and nothing was wet. No coolant left on the road, driveway, nothing. Theres a few spots here and there that looked like someone sneezed heavily, but definitely no major leaks...
On a side note, a week or so ago, my low coolant light came on and I only had to put in literally a few ounces and it was full and went back off, not sure if it is relevant or not.
Im supposed to drive back home from maine to florida this weekend and need this fixed asap...Someone please help!!!

Well the first thing I would advise is to post in the forum for your car. A '98 is an X308 and a request for advice needs to be in that forum. Reason I say this is that many of the experts on here only read forums of their expertise, so posting here (X350) might come up trumps but is more likely in the other forum. As an example, I almost never look in the X308 forum because I have no experience of these cars.
