On forums, we may have even read that the head gasket could be burnt. But in reality, the first thing to do when these circumstances occur is to replace the coolant tank cap, because the cap controls the pressure of the system, and a defective cap allows the coolant to escape in the form of steam through the overflow cap, without leaving a trace.
