Hi there,

The first thing you need to do is get the cooling system pressure tested for any external leaks, any work shop can do this, it takes only a few Minuit's to do.

Yes this is a big deal. Do not drive the vehicle with low or leaking coolant.

You will need to have a coolant pressure test done if you cannot find where the leak is coming from.

Big deal dude. If you have that problem never drive it. Let it be tested first. Your lucky your engine is still intact.
