Here's the deal, I drove my car home from school the other night and it started getting really hot so i pulled over, let it cool down then drove it home (I was only about a mile from my house when it started getting hotter by the second). I got home let it chill and when I took off the radiator cap there was no fluid visible and it took quite a bit before filling up but of course that solved the heat problem. I filled it up like 2 weeks ago and i dont see any leaks, but get this.

two days later (today) i get in my car to go to school and decide it would be a good idea to check my fluid and it starts spewing out like it has a GRIP of pressure but the car is ice cold, wasnt started since midday yesterday.

I searched on the subject and got a grip of symptoms for a blown headgasket but my power is all there, there is no smoke, and i made it to school and back just fine.

Any opinions on whats happening here
