Help with Overheating
So I went out for lunch today and noticed that the Engine Temp went well over H, I opened the hood and looked at the coolant and it was all gone. So I just went to buy some, but after letting the car rest I started the car up and the radiator hose is burning hot and the car was literally on for 20 seconds. Can anyone guide me to what could be the issue I can't make it to the dealership until Monday. The engine is very hot as well and has a a smell of a kind of burned oil.

Could be several things from head gasket, heater core, radiator leak, water pump, radiator cap, hose fittings. Really need to have the system tested at a shop if there's nothing obvious. Any coolant leaks that you're able to ID? I wouldn't drive it in it's current state,

...t awhile ago a tech did tell me I had a coolant leak, but at another dealership they said they didn't see any. I also now a check engine light... this really sucks cause I don't wanna pay for anything over $500 especially since I am planning on a Q60RS later this year.

Need to pull the code for that engine light, hopefully nothing serious resulted from the overheating. Coolant leaks can be tricky to detect sometimes, especially if it's leaking from an area where the coolant will evaporate (like hot exhaust parts) and not leave an obvious puddle. Also be sure to check the oil dipstick for any milky residue since it could be leaking into the motor.

Ouch! What year is your G? Not 100% sure if they would automatically change those oil gallery gaskets that are prone to fail on pre 2012 models when replacing the water pump. If yours is pre 2012 I would make sure that those gaskets are changed while they're in there replacing the pump, would hate to have to go through another $2k if those gaskets crap out.
