K I dunno if this has to do with a blown head gasket or what ever it was, but maybe someone can tell me why it looks like I got crap in my coolant.
K the pictures didnt want to go on so there are the links
Coolant Cap with crap
coolant crap
and this would be a congealed puddle of coolant and god knows what else
so im guessing my gasket is gone
puddle of stuff

I don't think your pictures are public...
Even without pics, crap in your coolant is most likely oil. Losing coolant is bad. Losing oil is very bad. Losing both means most likely intake gasket is totally fubar.
Don't drive your car.

Looks like oil, you definately have a problem. There's lots of info around here about that fix, be prepared, it's expensive.

WEll see I think I have the same problem, cause not only was I leaking oil, last night in 40 degree weather my car started to overheat and I lost all of my coolant. It went all over the ground underneathmy car, and the puddle is still there. Anyone think my headgasket is gone too?

The most common problem is intake gasket, not head gasket. But either way, you've got a big problem. Don't drive it without coolant.

either Lower intake maniflod gasket OR the problem everyone forgets about BAD WATER PUMP!! Bad water pump causes all ur coolant to come out thru the weephole fast. get a small mirror and put it under ur water pump and look to see if its commin out the weephole.
Good thing about teh water pump goin bad is that a new water pump is only $30 and it only takes about an hour or so to put in

metalifreak, a bad head gasket will not puke all of your coolant out at once. You most likely have a bad hose / connection or bad water pump.
Imsobored, yea, I agree with the others, you probably have the intake manifold leak.

wow, that sucks dude. but actually, ski and i were right. a bad gasket alone won't puke out all your coolant. it took you two bad gaskets and a bad cylinder head! by the way, what was "bad" about the cylinder head? warped? cracked?
