and the radiator didn't even crack. It was warm enough the past three days to drive on just water until the G12 came. It appears I suffered zero ill effects.

Tonight I use the petcock to drain the coolant, then flushed the system as best I could. I then closed the petcock, and it took 5 quarts of water to fill it. Since the system is ~9 quarts, I drained via the petcock again, closed it, and dumped 4.5L of 100% coolant in, then topped off with water.

I still had two 1.5L bottles left, and three empty bottles. So with a funnel and more distilled water, I now have 6L of 50% mix on hand so I won't freeze up again!

Planning on using florescent dye to find the leak, I'm actually hoping it's leaking into the intake, that would be an easy fix compared to the oil cooler.
