HELP!!!! I'm a Noob!

Hey guys, pardon me if I sound retarded lol. I don't know a whole lot about cars and I'm having a huge issue with my baby. If the intercooler tank is bone dry, does that mean the pump is out? Or could it just be low on fluid. I have never heard of or seen this tank dry like this. Thanks in advance!!!

It wouldn't just disappear if the pump is bad.

Probably means it leaked.

If its dry, it has a leak. And since the pump has been running with no coolant, you can bet on it being bad too

With the cool air this time of year its not horrific but yeah you have a leak and your pump is bad now. But just don't go boosting it around and you won't have a problem. until you fix it
