coolant dissapeared
i was driving home last night, and the add coolant light came on, so i pulled over, the radiator was half empty, the hoses werent pressurized, and the overflow tank was empty, also i let the car idle for like 1 minute to check for any leaks, there were none, and no smoke from my exhaust either, and the exhaust smell was the same, any ideas?

Probably....
it's one of the three small hoses that snake around the drivers side of the intake plenum from back to front. On the drivers side, they connect to either side of what I believe is called the BAC valve.
Anyway, if you don't see obvious coolant leak, then the hose running from the block up behind and into the back of the plenum is your culprit. You'll need to pull the whole plenum to replace. I'd replace all three to be safe as they're all probably the same age.
Good luck.
