Coolant Draining, Yaris sedan 2008

Thank you

it did vaporize completely till the car actually became hot and i refilled it but it seems to be doing it again that's why it raises a huge flag this time

note:i didnt drive while it was hot i made sure it cooled off again and bought more coolant and filled it up again what lead to this is me not checking on coolant for a long time :( my bad

"vaporize completely"
From the overflow tank?
From the radiator?
From the engine block/head?

the overflow tank was empty and the car started heating and bulb in the dashboard lit up

the car doesn't have a cap for the radiator so i don't know if it was also from the radiator and the engine block i don't know how to check that but the car heated the light in the dashboard lit up and i had to stop right away and went to buy more coolant to put in the overflow tank of course after waiting for the car to cool off for about 45min

so basically i saw no water in the overflow tank

dont fill your radiator with tap water while its hot. dont put coolant in an overheating engine.
