Why would the coolant go out of your radiator if it has no leaks?

It may appear to be coming from the radiator. A leak is a leak, and it can cause serious prolems inside your engine. It could be a house, a gasket, the water pump, or you may have missed a radiator leak. Over heating can cause this too, and that presents other problems. Lastly, your radiator cap may be failing. That's a cheap first step. Don't let this go for long, keep fluid in your system at all times.

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.

When you were driving to Wisconsin the car overheated?
Not much info to go on. First thing to do is pull over and check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir. If the reservoir is empty look for obvious leaks and repair as necessary. Never open radiator cap when engine is hot. If you don't see any obvious leaks have vehicle towed to a garage for diagnoses.

An overflow tank is a bottle that holds coolant that expands and leaves the radiator under driving conditions. The Coolant will go back into the radiator as needed.
My 1994 camaro z28 overheats and leaks out coolant i already replaced the radiator and thermostat what could the problem be?
Next step after this would be to replace the radiator pressure cap, check ALL hoses for deterioration and leaks, check the coolant resevior bottle for leaks, and all connections to it. Check the drain plug and make sure it's snug in the bottom of radiator. Also, you may need a new water pump. Good Luck! I agree about the water pump, even if it seems as if it is working it will give poor circulation and cause overheating when pressurized until the bearings finally go out completely. but check the pressure cap first it is the most obvious and cheapest option, if it is bad when the system builds pressure and heat it will allow coolant to pass freely into the reservoir, but not draw it back in.
