Thanks Gojeep,

I checked everything and it is ok. If anything the coolant is at the add level. But it does have a plastic tank.

If it had boiled wouldn't the temp gauge have moved? The temp was sitting under 100, which is normal for the car. The oil pressure was just over 3.

It hasn't leaked again, so go figure? I will keep an eye on it though.
