I got some photos....
The car appears to not have an overflow tank installed...
His chrome expansion tank was just about empty.
The fluid in bottom of the expansion tank looks slightly rusty but not oily...
No obvious coolant leaks on garage floor.
Fans are working...
He said oil level was very low on dipstick, but it looked like oil and not like a milkshake...
The little puf of steam when he turned it off was from the radiator area....
Car had been running fine up to today....started running a little rough.
I recommended he not start the engine to put it away tonight, have it towed to the dealer, have a coolant pressure test done, and if that fails a cylinder leakdown test....I also suggested an oil change due to the excessive temp he achieved...Also a good check of the oil for coolant...
