Well i was changing my headlight bulbs today, and i happened to glance at the coolant resevoir. Well wouldn't you know it, its almost empty! If you remember, i just changed my heatercore not 2 weeks ago, at which time i burped the system, as per Capt's tutorial (i think it was capt's anyways), and topped the res off to the FULL mark. I have no idea where it would be leaking from, as i park in the driveway, and its been wet all week. I already checked the hose connections going to the heater core, and they are dry/dont look like coolant has been leaking out there. Where else should i check?

Refill it again, and drive it for another week. See if the level changes. There might have been a few small pockets of air working there way out. Plus what percent antifreeze did you put in. It can evaporate if you used plain water.

im not sure actually, i used a premixed coolant, in a yellow jug. Its a pretty common one, so im sure you know which one im talking about. Ill top it up and see what it does.
