Once I bought this car in a spring 2016 (car was three years old at the time) I have problems with coolant leak. Couple mechanics could not even find a problem. One finally found and changed heater hoses, and he said that now everything is okay. But it is not. I have to add once a week coolant because it’s below minimum level. When I add it, I can see some spill on the ground. Please help me. What could be a problem? Thank you.

Maybe the reservoir or its connections has a crack/split/ hole in it?

This is from our "Repair Guides" (top right side of our pages)

Performing this test might let you hear a possible leak in your reservoir (or elsewhere for that matter). The tool can be rented at an auto parts store.

Let us know what you find.
