i checked 2 days ago, it was like at the min line, now its about 1/2 inch below it.

 

OK, this is pretty basic but have you checked all your hoses to see if you have a leak? About a month ago I had a pin hole leak in one of mine that was causing me to loose flui:dunno:

Check them while the car is warmed up and running of course.

 

wait wait wait... you're checking your resivuar tank? Or you're opening up the cap and looking in?

The resivuar is really neither here nor there when it comes to level. It's there as an overflow, not as a place to check the level (imo). That level will always change depending on how you're running the car. If you're running it hard or it's running hot, it's going to push the excess coolant into that tank. It can then get back into the system when there's space for it. Don't look at the resivuar to check your coolant level.

Open the cap, look inside. If it's at the top, you're fine. If it's low, add coolant and check it in a few days.

hih

 

thx

 

:werd:

That's why I said earlier that it's not uncommon for the fluid in the resivoir to drop... like you said it's just for overflow that's why it's called a resivoir

 

Actually, I think it's name is actually Overflow tank or something cause it's really not a resivuar. Think about how your power steering/MC/Clutch cylinder resivuars work. They hold the fluid in them for recirculation or for a place to store the fluid when it's not being used. You actually check the levels on these resivuars.

The coolant overflow is different in that if it's empty, it really doesn't matter as long as the radiator is full.

Make sense?
