Help, burning coolant. No leak?.
Sorry, if I'm doing everything wrong but this is my first post.
So I've run into some problem with my 06 SS/SC.
I filled my coolant up because I noticed it was low and drove around for maybe an hour. I got out to go check on it and the reservoir was half empty. So I filled it again but couldn't find any leaks, I sat her on dry pavement for 20 min and not a drop came out. I then checked the the other coolant cap to see if my pump was working and to my surprise it wasn't. She was completely dry and I Also had no boost this whole time. So I decided to fill her up to see if the pump would circulate the coolant, but it didn't. So I closed everything up and drove off to my mechanic. By the time I got there my boost was working again but the pump was still out. also if I Rev my car to 4-5 rpm I get a decent size cloud of white smoke coming out of the exhaust. If I go to 5+ the engine sounds as if it wants to stall but doesn't.
I'm really lost here any help would be amazing.

its obviously ingesting coolant, the key is to find out what system the coolant is coming from. i had the exact same symptoms when i had a laminova end seal leaking. basicly it pools the intercooler coolant in the bottom of the manifold, and when you get enough air velocity from heavy throttle/higher rpm it picks the coolant up and feeds it into the cylinders, causing the stumble and white smoke.
if it were me id pressure test the cooling system first, rule out a head gasket issue. then id pull the blower off and see if there is coolant in the intake manifold.
