Varying Levels of Coolant
Two weeks ago I changed the front cover gasket and disconnected the radiator hose inadvertently and all the coolant leaked out over a few days due to the old clamp. Bought a new clamp and the leak was gone.
Changed the oil last night, didn't see anything funny in the oil. What i notice is that the coolant levels in my reservoir have been changing. I had filled it to the full line after i had fixed the leak. Then i noticed a week later that the coolant is near the LOW line when the car is cold. I looked under my car i noticed a fresh stain on the floor but it did not look like coolant. It could have been water and i alternate parking spots in a tandem spot.
Anyways, i turned the engine on and drove around for abit, came back and the coolant was close to the FULL line, this is when the engine is warm. Next day, i check the coolant again and its back to the LOW line indicator. I'm guessing there isn't a problem and i'm just being paranoid.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
