I have a 1999 Honda Civic EX. While driving I smelled antifreeze and noticed the temperature guage on H, (over heated)

I pulled off the road and found no coolant in the overflow and the radiator empty.I filled the over flow and it remained full and radiator started spewing steam and once capped steam started coming from an area beneath the VTEC Solendoid gasket? What is the problem and solution? I will replace the thermostat first? could this be head gasket blown? there is no oil in the antifreeze. please advise.

make sure they are tight
could be time for head gaskets
make sure the old gasket from the old filter came off the block sometimes they come off old filter and stick this causes a leak due to improper seal.

SOURCE: Determining if head gasket is blown on a 1994 honda accord Ex w VTec

White smoke out of the exhaust is one indication that the head gasket is blown. Another is to start the car and check the oil on the dipstick. If it's frothy or looks like a milkshake, this is another indication of a blown head gasket. The milky appearance indicates that coolant is in your engine, caused by a bad head gasket. If none of these symptoms occur, then the problem lies elsewhere. Hope this answers your question and feel free to post back with any other concerns or questions. Thank you.

Overheating in 2001 Honda Civic

Check thermostat first. Maybe not the problem but new thermostat and housing gasket are very cheap and with this many miles it wouldn't hurt to install new one anyway. Just a little labor.

My civic did the same thing, twice, no over heating on the gauge, but the head gasket on both engines broke in the same place, #1 cyl. there is a TSB on the head gaskets, I replaced it with a felpro head gasket, had the head checked for cracks and decked, runs smooth and my wife gets 40 MPG
Pull the #1 spark plug and check for coolant on the plug. make sure you flush the cooling system.

It's likely that a head gasket is blown, causing fluid to go out of the exhaust pipe especially if you see none on the ground. You might smell a 'sweet' antifreeze/water smell out of the pipe at idle.

Did your head gasket fail?

Yep. Defiantly sounds like you got a blowed head gasket. Probably a warped or cracked head as well. You need to have it pressure tested to find out for sure if it is a head gasket. If it is then you will have to pull the head off send it to a machine shop and have it checked for warpage and or cracks. The 3.5 has 2 heads. Do them both.

Heat guage

This is a pretty common phenomenon. Air is moving through the radiator when the car is in motion, but not when it stops (unless the fan is on). Make sure the fan is working on the car, and don't let the gauge go much over half-way.
