alright, so i hop in the car today to head out on some errands, and the low coolant warning light comes on.. first time i have seen it, get out to check to the coolant level.... almost non existent... no visible leaks, and i just had the LIMG replaces about 10K miles ago. any thoughts?

If its the LIMG and you had a GM dealer do it they have a 12,000 mile warranty on parts and labor.

It could also be a head gasket.

That would mean it emptied during night if it was the first time you saw the light. Somethinglike that happened to me on my Buick Regal, a kind of "plug" on the side of the engine, just behind the Alt collapsed and that resulted in a complete drain of the coolant. I dunno with the 3.4 tough

I dont think a head Gasket leak would empty the rad in one night all of a sudden like this. Maybe a hose disconnected somewhere?

I think it's something stupid and not something serious.

Any fliud on the ground?
