My 98' C280 just had a full check-up at the MB dealer 3 months ago. It drove fine to work this morning. The coolant warning light came up when I drove it again from work back home. There were small puffs of smoke coming out of the hood at redlight. The fan worked non-stop and the engine temp reached 120C with a bad burning smell. Has the damage been done to the engine? Do I need to take it back to the shop or just fill up the water level should take care of the problem? TIA!
