Can no coolant in reservoir cause engine not to start?
Coolant is used to keep an engine in a vehicle at a temperature safe for operation. If no coolant is in the reservoir, an engine will not start.

What would cause 1998 Saturn sl1 coolant light to blink?
Either coolant is low or the sensor in the reservoir is stuck with dirt. Clean the reservoir with soap and water
Could the bottle for the coolant cause over heating if it has a split in it?
If the coolant reservoir can not maintain the proper level of coolant, it is possible the engine could over heat when the level drops.
Why could your 94 BMW be using so much coolant?
It probably has a leak. Here's something to check - the radiator has a tube coming out to the reservoir, so when it gets hot and expands the coolant goes into the reservoir and should go back into the radiator when it cools, but if your reservoir has a crack and the coolant leaks out, well it's gone and can't go back into the radiator - this would cause a lot of loss of coolant.

It can if it is stuck closed the engine overheats causing hot air ( steam ) to flow backwards to radiator cap which releases and blows steam pressure into recovery reservoir which starts blowing out the coolant in the reservoir making a puddle on ground.

What would cause the coolant to overflow from the reservoir on a 1997 Sable?
This is a indication of a blown head gasket,unless it has been over filled or overheated.If you are getting combustion in the cooling system you will see air coming up through the coolant in the reservoir,be careful it can blow hot coolant out without any warning.Most shops have a tool that will detect combustion gases in the coolant,it should be a inexpensive test.
