C55 coolant pours out after driving
Last night when I was coming home the car went into limp mode right before it got in the garage. When i turned the engine off most of the coolant poured out of the weep hole but when it cooled there was no water left in the reservoir. Then today I filled it up again to see if it was just a weird occurrence and it was fine when i went out but when i got home the same thing happened. Any help on what the problem could be would be great. Thanks.

Sounds like it's overheating and pushing the coolant out of the vent/weep hole.
Is the auxiliary cooling fan working properly? That's where I would start.
At about 95 Celsius that fan should be running like nuts not just turning pathetically.. check it out.

Well it hasn't been over heating and it doesn't go of 90C and I think the pumps are working because after it a few seconds of over flowing what is left of the water goes down into the engine so I'm going to start at the cap and work my way down fingers crossed. Thanks for the reply
