Well first off here is past on the car. The radiator was installed brand new about a month ago after the old one leaked. The cooling fan was replaced 2 weeks ago and the temp gauge for the fans last week.
Now today i noticed that my back-up tank of coolant was GONE. So i refilled it, while doing that i also thought maybe the radiator was somewhat empty as well. so i checked it. there is sludge of coolant on my cap and at the top of the raditor mainly around that little rim where the cap is. Well the sludge wasn't much. 1/2 a square of a paper towel did the trick. But is this something that i should be worried about.
The car runs nice and smoothly but while on the highways going 75-90mph i could smell a slight oder of something burning. Now after i drove it for a little bit i parked and checked up on the coolant. It was nice and full in the back up tank. I couldnt check the cap tho. But what i noticed was a slight smell of coolant burning ( assumition)
