...overheating? Driving home from work, I noticed --after driving for about 10 miles or so-- that the engine temperature was really hot. I pulled over as soon as I could and let the car cool for about 20 mins. Then I drove about a mile and got home. After letting the radiator cool down, I found out it was all empty and that it's leaking badly. I'll get it fixed ASAP, but did I damage the engine too badly by driving while it was overheating?
