Hi

So yesterday- my gf was driving her 87 240 GL and she said the temp gauge suddenly went way up and smoke started coming from under the car so she pulled over and stopped right away.

When I got there lots of atf on the ground no coolant to speak of - but I know this car has a tranny fluid coolant system through the radiator correct?

What might I be looking at here for a pausible cause.

Thanks in advance!
