is coolant cap next to the air filter supposed to be empty?
 
well, i have actually two questions, how the fuck do you read that coolant dip stick, you see is there supposed lots of coolant on the stick between the low and full? i looked at the coolant cap bottle next to the air intake box and noticed that it was empty, is that normal?????:)

Hmmm look at the stick, see the little holes. The coolant will fill the little holes tothe level it is at.

If you had a really small head and neck you could stick it into the coolant filler and see how much coolant was in the overflow tank.

No, it should not be full to the top, then you would have coolant above the full mark on the stick.

Hope that helps

That dipstick goes ALL the way down to the bumper. Definitely check the holes and guage for coolant under a bright light preferably, and do NOT fill coolant thru that reservoir. It's a guage/overflow reservoir, worth-less for topping off coolant.
