About two months ago noticed coolant in reservoir was low. Filled and had no more loss. I have put about 3,000 miles on truck since. Took a 600 miles trip and came back reservoir was low again. No visible leaks, no coolant in oil. No visible steam coming from engine while running. No leaks on carport cement.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

It is not too uncommon for a small amount of coolant to be consumed. However, excessive is usually a concern.

Take a look through this link. It discusses how to locate and repair a leak.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
