Coolant is low? What gives?

I would buy a 1 gallon jug of the proper coolant & add some. I did that quite some time ago, & it's been good ever since. I would monitor it, however.

Asian Blue started appearing on Walmart's shelves a few year ago, but it's quite common now.

I bought this back then -

but there are several good choices now.

Finding any leaks anywhere?

Was Hard for me to get a pictures of the coolant reservoir but better than nothing.

After taking a 2nd look this morning it looks low but not super low. I don’t get how it could be consumed. This isn’t like an engine oil consumption after all which would be a completely different discussion.

I didn’t see any leak beneath the car except for the small amount of clear fluid which is normal from using A/C.

I’ll drive my G4 later on and report back of my findings on possible coolant leak.

I think you will be fine. Fill to the top level and keep monitoring it.

I don't think they were filled to the top at the factory. Mine was like your pic. I added some, & it hasn't changed. That was a few years ago.

My car has a pinhole coolant leak on the timing cover. Not enough to show up on the ground, but enough to cause a slow coolant loss.

I also have an incredibly minor coolant loss over time, someone else on the form said it maybe caused by evaporation as the expansion tank has a hole in it about an inch below the cap to prevent it from pressurizing.

Understood.

I checked underneath again this am and i saw a very small amount of water dripping. Verified with a piece of paper. No color fluids whatsoever.

I’ll check every now and then.
